ASCO 2024: Cancer experts gather to showcase ground-breaking research

From 31 May – 4 June, scientists from The Institute of Cancer Research, London, will join a global forum of world-leading researchers and oncologists at the  2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.

The ASCO conference sees the latest, practice-changing results from major phase III trials presented alongside exciting early phase trial results, translational research, and insightful commentary on all aspects of oncology. The conference is the highlight of the global cancer research calendar.

The theme of this year’s meeting is The Art and Science of Cancer Care: From Comfort to Cure which focuses on showcasing state-of-the-art research, ground-breaking treatments, and visionary insights that will rekindle attendees passion for oncology.

Below is a summary of studies being presented by researchers from the ICR and our partners The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust at ASCO 2024.
