Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S and metastatic disease remains predominantly incurable. New cancer cases and healthcare costs continue to increase year-over-year. Precision medicine aims to select the most effective treatments for patients, but existing approaches only benefit a minority of patients.
Xilis is developing next generation micro-organosphere technology for precision cancer therapy. The XilisμO platform enables rapid diagnostics, personalized drug screening, and scalable patient-derived models for high-throughput drug discovery.
