摘要

"Patients. Pathways. Progress." was the collective theme of the 47 th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), held in Chicago on June 3-7, 2011. Participants at the largest oncology meeting in the world were given the opportunity to exchange a wide range of ideas related to cancer and discussed the most recent advances in cancer research and care. This year's meeting was designed to accommodate the interests of the Society's multidisciplinary membership, whereas the educational program centered on medical, surgical and radiation oncology. This report will focus on the latest developments based on findings from a number of first-in-human trials and phase I studies presented at the meeting.
