American Society of Clinical Oncology-55th Annual Meeting

The theme for this year's meeting of the American Association of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) was "Caring for Every Patient, Learning from Every Patient," which set the direction of exciting oral, plenary and educational sessions as well as poster presentations and discussions about important topics such as precision medicine, the latest in cancer research impacting patient care, new treatment options and insights for improving access to care. The ASCO meeting was held from May 31 to June 4 in Chicago, Illinois, and was attended by more than 40,000 cancer experts from around the world who followed a robust program that gave opportunities to teach, engage and, most importantly, bring the oncology field together. This report covers some of the early-stage developments and results presented at the meeting.
