“Caris Life Sciences was founded because of an idea - that personalized and precise information will improve healthcare for everyone.”
David D. Halbert
Chairman and CEO
"Over the last decade it has become clear that cancer is an insidious enemy exploiting a multitude of different pathways to escape our treatments. Each patient requires a more intelligent and comprehensively designed treatment strategy to enable them to fight their disease most effectively."
David Spetzler, MS, MBA, PhD
President and Chief Scientific Officer
"The essence of any clinical decision should be to use the best possible information for the most rational choice to benefit the patient."

FAQs
Caris Molecular Intelligence enables the delivery of precision medicine by providing oncologists with clinically actionable and individualized cancer treatment information to help personalize cancer care. Our Comprehensive Tumor Profiling approach to assess DNA, RNA and Proteins reveals a molecular blueprint to guide more precise and individualized treatment decisions.
Caris Molecular Intelligence provides therapeutic insights designed to aid oncologists in personalizing cancer therapies for their patients. Caris Molecular Intelligence allows physicians to:
• Navigate among therapies with potential benefit;
• Identify therapies that may not have been considered;
• Determine drugs with potential lack of benefit (avoiding unnecessary toxicities and costs); and
• Match patients to clinical trials.
Based on the clinical literature, biomarker and therapeutic associations are best analyzed by specific technologies looking for explicit genomic and proteomic aberrations. As such, Caris examines DNA, RNA and proteins to decode a patient’s tumor and provide a more comprehensive tumor assessment. One technology may not be sufficient or clinically appropriate to provide an integrated picture of a tumor’s biology. Learn more about our profiling technologies.
The ordering physician will receive the results of the patient’s tumor analysis in a clinically actionable report. There are 3 ways to access patient reports:
• MI Portal: On-demand access to interactive reports, plus electronic ordering and many other extra features;
• Email: Fully interactive reports delivered in real-time, right to your inbox (MI Portal account required to enroll in email report deliver);
• Fax: Reports delivered in real-time — due to the limited nature of faxing, however, interactive report features and color options are unavailable.

After the specimen and required paperwork have been received by Caris Life Sciences, the ordering physician will receive the report in approximately 8-14 days. International cases range from 10-21 days due to additional shipping/customs requirements.
Yes, every report includes the Clinical Trials Connector™ at no additional cost. The Clinical Trials Connector a clinical trials matching service that identifies open and enrolling clinical trials tailored to the lineage and/or biomarker profile of the patient’s tumor.
Caris Molecular Intelligence is performed in our state-of-the-art, 66,000 sq-ft laboratory in Phoenix, Arizona. Our laboratory holds the industry’s strictest quality and compliance accreditations, including ISO 15189, CAP, CLIA, NY State and CE Mark.
Yes, Caris Molecular Intelligence is typically reimbursed by Medicare and other insurance providers. Caris Life Sciences will bill the patient’s insurance company, and the patient is typically responsible for co-payments, co-insurance and/or the deductible, as required by law.
Depending on the profile ordered, the number of markers analyzed and technologies used, the cost will differ among the various tumor profiling options. Learn more.
