MD Anderson taps Oncora Medical for precision medicine solutions to boost radiation oncology

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, based in Houston, partnered with Oncora Medical to enhance radiation oncology services using precision medicine software.

Oncora Medical, a precision radiation oncology software company, will work with MD Anderson's oncologists and IT professionals to install Oncora's Precision Radiation Oncology Platform. The platform will use data from MD Anderson's EMR system, tumor registry and radiation therapy planning system. It will also use information stored in Brocade, a web-based clinical documentation tool developed by an MD Anderson physician in 2014.

"We believe this partnership could be a significant step forward for the field of radiation oncology and our patients," said Benjamin Smith, MD, associate professor of radiation oncology at MD Anderson. "Through this alliance, we hope to improve workflows and processes for radiation oncologists and simultaneously give radiation oncologists access to better information to support real-time, precision medical decision making."
