ASCO Special: Dr. Milan Radovich on Genomics-Driven Cancer Research and Care

Welcome to HITeaWithGrace, where we spill the tea on all things Health IT! I’m here at ASCO 2025 in Chicago, joined by a hometown hero: Milan Radovich, PhD, Senior Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer at Caris Life Sciences.

In this conversation, Dr. Radovich reflects on a landmark year for Caris, with 37 accepted poster presentations at ASCO — a true tour de force in the world of precision medicine. From bladder cancer breakthroughs to real-world evidence of therapy response through Caris’ molecular profiling, Dr. Radovich walks us through how data is finally delivering actionable, life-extending care for patients.

We also discuss:

- Why molecular profiling has become the bedrock of modern oncology

- A standout ASCO poster on tracking therapy response in bladder cancer using Caris tests

- The work of Caris Discovery, a dedicated team of 60+ advancing novel therapies grounded in tumor genomics

- The dramatic shift in cancer science — from an organ-based dogma to a molecular-first understanding of disease

- How AI is beginning to revolutionize oncology: from predicting recurrence and refining prognosis, to accelerating drug development

- The rise of genomic dependency in drug development — and the need to match therapies to each patient’s molecular fingerprint

Dr. Radovich describes this moment as a paradigm shift — a fusion of science fiction and clinical reality where the Star Trek era of precision oncology is no longer a dream, but something we’re living right now.
