ASCO Special: Dr. Matthew Oberley on the Power of Digital Pathology

Welcome to HITeaWithGrace, where we spill the tea on all things Health IT! I’m coming to you from ASCO 2025, where I sat down with Matthew Oberley, MD, PhD, Senior Vice President, Chief Clinical Officer and Pathologist-in-Chief at Caris Life Sciences.

Dr. Oberley shares his excitement about one of Caris’ standout presentations at ASCO: a breakthrough in digital pathology for early-stage breast cancer. This innovative approach uses advanced algorithms to predict long-term risk, helping determine whether extended endocrine therapy is necessary — or if it can safely be avoided. The impact? More personalized, evidence-based care with less overtreatment.

We also dig into:

- Caris' impressive 37 scientific poster presentations at ASCO 2025

- The growing clinical use of molecular testing to drive research, treatment decisions, and patient stratification in trials

- How the tight collaboration between oncologists and pathologists is fueling advances in digital pathology and risk prediction tools

- The rise of AI-powered predictive algorithms that are not only precise, but far more cost-effective, potentially expanding access to next-gen diagnostics

Dr. Oberley’s vision is clear: by integrating molecular insights with digital tools, we’re entering a new era of precision, personalization, and prevention in cancer care.
