Clinical trials are essential for testing new treatments, but they often focus on a specific group of patients, the healthiest among those with the disease.

By incorporating data from various clinical settings, we gain insights into the entire population of patients with a particular condition. This comprehensive approach allows us to better understand the complexities of oncology and explore treatment outcomes beyond the confines of clinical trials. Real-world data is a powerful tool that complements clinical trials, helping us improve cancer care for all patients.

The rapid expansion of precision medicine, biologics, and targeted cancer therapies is transforming oncology—but it’s also overwhelming a system not built to keep pace. In the U.S., cancer drugs now account for some of the highest-cost treatments in healthcare, and with that has come a surge in prior authorization requirements and denials.

With patient safety directly tied to instrument quality—and studies consistently…
