In this video, Riley Ennis, Freenome co-founder and Chief Product Officer, speaks with Anjee Davis, newly appointed CEO of Fight Colorectal Cancer, about the power of partnerships in advancing colorectal cancer care. Congratulations to Anjee on her new role and continued leadership in this critical work. Freenome is proud to collaborate with Fight CRC on the Colorectal Cancer Care Report, a first-of-its-kind effort to use real-world data to identify gaps in care and create measurable solutions to improve screening and treatment. Colorectal cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths, but progress is possible when advocacy, research, and data-driven insights come together. #EarlyDetection #ColorectalCancerAwareness #HealthEquity #CRCscreening #CancerPrevention #BloodTest #Freenome #FightCRC

Outpacing cancer starts with early detection
About us
Freenome is a high-growth biotech company on a mission since 2014 to create tools that empower everyone to prevent, detect, and treat their disease. To achieve this mission, Freenome is developing next-generation blood tests to detect cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages using our multiomics platform and machine learning techniques. Our first blood test will detect early-stage colorectal cancer and advanced adenomas. We have raised more than $1.1 billion from leading investors like Perceptive Advisors, RA Capital Management, Roche Venture Fund, Kaiser Permanente, Novartis and the American Cancer Society’s BrightEdge Ventures. A ‘Freenomer’ is a mission-driven employee who is fueled by the opportunity to make a positive impact on patients' lives, who thrives in a culture of respect and cross collaboration, and whose work makes a significant impact on the company and their career.

We’re proud to partner with the Prevent Cancer Foundation to drive awareness and action around #ColorectalCancer (CRC) screening. Fear, cost and logistics shouldn’t stand in the way – yet for many, they do. PCF’s latest survey reveals how we can improve access to CRC screening, particularly for medically underserved communities. By improving access and reducing barriers, including through new and emerging options like blood-based screening tests, we can detect CRC earlier and save lives. #EarlyDetection #CancerPrevention #CRCscreening #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth
In honor of #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth, the Prevent Cancer Foundation teamed up with Freenome to learn about #ColorectalCancer screening habits. Although 76% of adults 45 and older believe early detection saves lives, only 59% are up to date on their colorectal cancer screening. But here's what else we learned: Innovations and choice can make all the difference and help overcome key barriers—emotional, financial and logistical hurdles—to screening. Explore more of our findings below and head to https://lnkd.in/gZ_wrZh3 to make sure you're up to date on your routine colorectal cancer screening if you're 45 or older and at average risk.

At Freenome, we believe that equity in clinical research starts with intention. Our first publication of 2025, based on data from the PREEMPT CRC study site at the Morehouse School of Medicine, challenges the long-standing myth that Black patients are not interested in participating in clinical studies. The reality? When enrollment strategies are culturally sensitive and research teams are racially congruent, representation follows. At the Morehouse-affiliated site, which primarily serves Black patients, 88.7% of those enrolled in PREEMPT CRC identified as Black—demonstrating that trust, accessibility, and thoughtful study design matter. This work is part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring that diverse communities are represented in clinical research. Because early cancer detection should work for everyone.

At Freenome, we’re dedicated to advancing early detection because early action saves lives. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S., but with routine screening and early intervention, it’s also one of the most preventable. That’s why we are developing innovative blood-based screening tools that make early detection more accessible, convenient, and effective for everyone. This month, let’s raise awareness, encourage screenings, and support those affected by colorectal cancer. Because when we detect cancer early, we can outpace it together. ➡️ Talk to your doctor about screening options ➡️ Encourage a loved one to get screened ➡️ Join the conversation using #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, a time to highlight how early detection can save lives. At #HIMSS25, Freenome is sharing how technology and data can transform early cancer detection—helping more people get screened when cancer is most treatable. Thanks to our partners at Google Cloud, we will be in the Google booth #673 – demonstrating how we are leveraging Looker’s business intelligence tools, embedded AI, and health APIs to analyze de-identified patient data, including risk factors, demographics, and social determinants of health. These insights can help population health managers, providers, and payers identify subpopulations facing barriers to screening and develop tailored strategies to improve access. By harnessing data to help inform care gap closure programs in colorectal cancer screening, we are working toward a future where early detection is accessible for all. Please join us in driving awareness and action this Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and we hope to see you at #HIMSS25! #EarlyDetection #ColorectalCancerAwareness #HealthEquity #CRCscreening #CancerPrevention #BloodTest

On World Cancer Day, Freenome stands with the global health community to reflect on how we can unite to improve the lives of those impacted by cancer. We are honored to contribute to the fight against cancer through our work in early detection, striving to identify cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages.

We were thrilled to see the enthusiasm for blood-based screening at #ASCOGI 2025. Dr. Aasma Shaukat presented exciting data from our PREEMPT CRC study in the main presentation room, including a prespecified direct standardization adjustment to the U.S. population's sex and age distribution. The results demonstrated 81.1% sensitivity for CRC, 90.4% specificity for advanced cancer neoplasia (ACN), and 13.7% sensitivity for advanced precancerous lesion (APL) in a census-adjusted population. The conference featured strong interest in blood-based testing, with experts discussing its potential to improve patient adherence and expand screening options, particularly for those who were previously hesitant to undergo screening. Further discussion focused on performance metrics and the real-world implementation of these innovative solutions in clinical practice. We thank all those who engaged in these discussions. Read our latest research publications here: https://lnkd.in/gWCzYHwt Special thanks to Dr. Aasma Shaukat, Karolina Kutnik, and Zhen Meng, Ph.D., along with the PREEMPT CRC study investigators, site staff, and participants, for their contributions to advancing early cancer screening. #ColorectalCancer #EarlyDetection #BloodBasedTesting #Freenome
