Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of UHealth–the University of Miami Health System, and Syapse, a precision oncology company, announced that they will team up to launch a new precision medicine initiative at Sylvester.

By partnering with Syapse, Sylvester physicians will be able to more efficiently deliver personalized care that matches patients with targeted, cutting-edge therapies based on the clinical and molecular profile of the patient, leading to improved survival rates and better health outcomes.

Through the partnership with Syapse, Sylvester physicians will now have a robust platform that brings together clinical, molecular, treatment, and outcomes data to power this new era of precision medicine clinical workflows.

The Syapse platform will provide access to the largest, real-world precision oncology data sharing consortium in the world, enabling oncologists to make better decisions for their patients using real-world treatment and outcomes data on clinically and molecularly similar patients.

The Syapse platform is adopted by Intermountain Healthcare, Providence St. Joseph’s Health, Stanford Healthcare, Henry Ford Health System, Catholic Health Initiatives and Dignity Health.

Despite steady progress in reducing overall cancer mortality rates, cancer incidence in women is rising, according to the American Cancer Society’s “Cancer Statistics, 2025” report. Incidence rates in women 50-64 years of age have surpassed those in men, and rates in women under 50 are now 82% higher than their male counterparts, up from 51% higher in 2002. In 2021, for the first time, lung cancer incidence was higher in women under 65 than in men. 
Over the past five years, Cedars-Sinai Cancer has built an integrated, regional system designed to provide cancer care close to where patients live and work. This model of care, directed by an academic medical center to patients at the community level, proved to be the best possible approach to supporting patients in our 11-million-person catchment area during the worst fire disaster in California history.
