A groundbreaking national initiative delivering comprehensive genomic profiling, biomarker interpretation, and dedicated nurse navigation to support active-duty and veteran military patients with cancer.

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SOTERIA Precision Medicine Foundation (SOTERIA), a California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit, announces Cancer Hunt™, a nationwide precision oncology program created to serve U.S. military service members and veterans facing a cancer diagnosis. Built on an urgent mandate to remove barriers to leading-edge care, Cancer Hunt™ delivers comprehensive genomic profiling and biomarker interpretation at zero cost to the patient while reducing the administrative burden on treating oncologists and medical institutions. SOTERIA is currently accepting patient referral partners and military and veteran patients with a cancer diagnosis to participate in the Cancer Hunt™ program.

“Cancer Hunt™ was built on a straightforward but urgent premise: no service member or veteran fighting cancer should be denied access to life-saving genomic and medical insights due to insurance barriers or institutional delays,” said Julia Civardi, Founder & CEO of SOTERIA and cancer survivor. “We challenge the traditional one-size-fits-all approach by combining high-tech molecular diagnostics with high-touch precision oncology navigation, placing the patient directly in the center of leading-edge technology and medical resources.”

“Our service members and veterans have dedicated their lives to defending our nation, yet far too many are forced to fight a silent, deadly battle against cancer either while on active duty or following their service,” said CAPT Rob Newson, SEAL, USN (RET), PhD, Chief Community Officer of SOTERIA. “Cancer Hunt™ is about ensuring no warrior fights cancer alone or without access to the absolute best technology and molecular science available.”

COMPREHENSIVE PRECISION ONCOLOGY SUPPORT
Through Cancer Hunt™, SOTERIA deploys a multidisciplinary team comprised of oncology nurse navigators, PhD-level scientists, oncology specialists, and logistics coordinators to equip treating clinical teams with actionable molecular data. 

THE SOTERIA PRECISION PATHWAY
Cancer Hunt™ operationalizes patient cancer support through a precision medicine framework designed to guide service members from initial uncertainty to data-driven information specific to their disease.

CLINICAL INTEGRATION GUARANTEE: UNCOMPROMISED CONTINUITY OF CARE
To ensure seamless collaboration with existing clinical providers, Cancer Hunt™ operates under clear principles of non-interference.

ADVANCING MILITARY EXPOSURE RESEARCH
Beyond immediate patient care, Cancer Hunt™ is building a critical repository of longitudinal population molecular and exposure data. By observing unique genomic signatures in active-duty and veteran populations, SOTERIA aims to establish clearer research links between military exposures and subsequent cancer development to drive preventative strategies for future service members.
