ABSTRACT
The theme for this year's meeting of the American Association of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) was 'Caring for Every Patient, Learning from Every Patient'. The meeting consisted of oral, plenary and educational sessions, as well as poster presentations and discussions about important topics in the field of oncology, such as precision medicine, the latest in cancer research impacting patient care, new treatment options and insights for improving access to care. This 55th ASCO annual meeting was held from May 31 to June 4 in Chicago, Illinois, and was attended by over 40,000 cancer experts from around the world who followed a robust program providing opportunities to teach, engage and, most importantly, bring the oncology field together with the aim of improving care for patients with a cancer diagnosis. This report covers some of the later-stage developments and results presented at the meeting.
