Following the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting at Chicago from 2nd to 5th June 2017, here is a comprehensive list of studies presented that are funded by leading pharmaceutical companies worldwide. We hope to provide an overview of what is the state of art therapeutic developments in cancer treatment. Know the leaders in oncology and what molecular targets and techniques they are most interested in for the prevalent forms of cancer.
