ASCO 2012: Having a meeting plan is key to success at #ASCO12

By on June 1, 2012

Chicago Wrigley Building 300x225 ASCO 2012: Having a meeting plan is key to success at #ASCO12This morning I am heading off to the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Chicago from June 1 to 5, 2012.

Finalizing my conference schedule yesterday afternoon led me to reflect that at major meetings with multiple parallel sessions, one of the keys to success is having a plan before you arrive.

ASCO 2012 Unofficial Tweetup

By on May 30, 2012

IMGP4940 300x225 ASCO 2012 Unofficial TweetupIt’s almost time to pack the comfortable shoes for the #blisterwalk (thank you @MaverickNY for that pithy description) across the bridge at ASCO 2012 in Chicago.

No matter what your ASCO program choices, attendees are destined like a modern day Sisyphus to walk the bridge repeatedly as your schedule takes you from one end of McCormick Place to the other.

I am looking forward to the new data expected at the meeting. For diehards who are at ASCO till the last day, next Tuesday will see Dr Chris Parker present updated data on the ALSYMPCA trial for radium-223 (Alpharadin) in advanced prostate cancer. We can expect to see an increase in overall survival (OS) from the 2.8 months presented in Stockholm last year.
