“A truly outstanding day at Target Cancer Foundation’s Think Tank focused on rare cancers and precision medicine. A lot of ground was covered across an array of topics.”

Tempus AI, shared this post, adding:

“A fantastic meeting that discussed the needs and opportunities in rare cancer research and patient care. Rare cancer may be a misnomer: in aggregate rare cancer represents a significant portion of all cancers.

Tempus launched the Rare Cancer Initiative to work with foundations and researchers and make progress in these underserved communities.”
