Sarah Cannon June 01, 2023

More than 135 abstracts accepted for presentation across all phases of drug development

Nashville, Tenn – Sarah Cannon Research Institute (SCRI) announced that its network of research leaders have been selected to deliver insights through more than 135 abstracts and presentations at the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO®) Annual Meeting June 2-6, 2023. More than 80 experts from SCRI’s research network participated in key research that will be presented at the Annual Meeting, including important updates for 64 early-phase studies as well as a number of late-phase trials for multiple types of cancer, including breast, lung, hematologic malignancies, and more.

In 2022, SCRI joined together with US Oncology Research as one company to transform oncology research and improve care in more than 24 states across the U.S. Operating as SCRI, the unified research network has over 1,300 physicians enrolling patients to more than 1,000 trials annually.

“The collaborations across SCRI’s expanded network are accelerating progress and serving more patients closer to where they live,” says Howard A. “Skip” Burris III, MD, President, SCRI. “We are looking forward to this year’s Annual Meeting where we will be discussing the results of trials that are advancing therapies across a variety of cancers.”
