That said, the virtual meeting has produced some gems this year, including some very important findings many may have missed.
In our latest post meeting report we focus on both biomarkers and clinical findings.
We look at how there are various elements may interplay in unexpected ways, whether signatures from one trial are helpful in another, are there likely to be changes in treatment patterns as a result of data presented and where some emerging early signals might be useful.
