The National Comprehensive Cancer Network and Syapse announced an agreement w to expand the use of best practices in precision medicine.

Syapse delivers solutions for scaling enterprise precision oncology programs. The data contained in the NCCN Biomarkers Compendium will strengthen Syapse’s decision support and workflow tools, increasing access to more personalized care.

The NCCN Biomarkers Compendium is part of NCCN’s Library of Compendia, which also includes databases for Drugs & Biologics (NCCN Compendium), as well as the NCCN Radiation Therapy Compendium, and the NCCN Imaging Appropriate Use Criteria (NCCN Imaging AUC).

The NCCN-supported data will begin appearing on the Syapse platform in late 2018. Syapse is committed to updating that content weekly to keep pace with the NCCN Guidelines.
