Register to Attend 2008 Best of ASCO Meetings

Oncology professionals who are unable to attend the 2008 ASCO Annual Meeting - as well as attendees who wish to review the cutting-edge science presented at the Meeting - can now register for the upcoming Best of ASCO Meetings. The Best of ASCO Meetings condense highlights from the ASCO Annual Meeting into a two-day program presented in two locations - Boston, Massachusetts, and Los Angeles, California.

The summary meetings will feature high-impact abstracts presented at the 2008 ASCO Annual Meeting that represent the most relevant scientific findings in primary disease sites and practice-changing advances in cancer prevention and treatment. For the first time, the Best of ASCO West meeting will be held in conjunction with the World Conference on Interventional Oncology’s (WCIO) Annual Meeting.

Attendees will have the opportunity to examine advances in scientific and translational cancer research, evaluate the role of new diagnostic techniques and therapeutic approaches, and gain the knowledge to implement new disease management and patient care strategies and to revise existing ones. Research in the fields of breast cancer, developmental therapeutics, gastrointestinal cancer (colorectal and noncolorectal), genitourinary cancer, gynecologic cancer, head and neck cancer, leukemia, lung cancer, lymphoma, melanoma, and patient care will be presented.

The extensive peer-review abstract selection and program planning processes increase the value of the Best of ASCO Meetings and exemplify the uniqueness of the event.

To facilitate the timely dissemination of these important developments in oncology research, the 2008 Best of ASCO Meetings will be held in close proximity to the end of the Annual Meeting:
