NEW YORK, NY
Flatiron Health today announced four abstracts accepted for presentation at the 2017 American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting to be held June 2-6 in Chicago. The abstracts represent initial results of ongoing collaborations with Flatiron’s research and academic partners.
The research to be presented includes a retrospective observational study with the Food & Drug Administration — the first findings from the collaboration announced in 2016. Initial results from Foundation Medicine and Flatiron’s Clinico-Genomic Database project will also be shown as a part of a poster discussion presentation. Finally, Yale and Flatiron partnered on two studies examining racial, age and insurance disparities in cancer care. The presentation schedule and links to abstracts can be found below.
