Conference Report

A golden anniversary: highlights of the 50th annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology

10 Jul 2014
Gordon McVie, Audrey Nailor

The 50th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology showed a shift in the culture of cancer research, moving towards multidisciplinary, integrated, and patient-centric work. Hormone-sensitive cancers were particularly highlighted at this meeting, and impressive strides were made in the previously underserved areas of the lung and thyroid cancer. Interestingly, immunotherapy was one of the strongest themes to emerge.
