Providence cancer researchers highlighted at ASCO20: Virtual
Researchers at the Earle A. Chiles Research Institute, a division of Providence Cancer Institute in Portland, Oregon, joined oncology professionals around the world for the 2020 ASCO Virtual Scientific Program, held online for the first time, from May 29 through May 31, 2020. The virtual meeting delivered the latest cancer science in a diverse program, and featured over 250 oral abstract presentations and 2,500 poster presentations in 24 disease-based and specialty tracks.
From early phase clinical trials to health services research studies, rare malignancies to prevalent cancers, and prevention to survivorship, the more than 20 abstracts reflected our breadth of investigation to advance cancer science and medicine. Highlights included oral presentations and discussion at sessions for Developmental Therapeutics, Head and Neck Cancer, Symptoms and Survivorship, and a clinical science symposium on Drug Development for Rare Mutations.
Of note, Rachel E. Sanborn, M.D., associate member and co-director of the Providence Thoracic Oncology Program, was an invited discussant for the oral abstract session on Lung Cancer - Non-Small Cancer Metastatic where she gave her presentation “Maximizing the Benefits of (EGFR) Targeted Therapies.” Additionally, Dr. Sanborn was invited by Springer Healthcare, an ASCO20 partner, to provide her expert opinion on the top two most impactful lung cancer abstracts from this year’s meeting, Abstract #LBA5 “Osimertinib as adjuvant therapy in patients with stage IB–IIIA EGFR mutation positive NSCLC after complete tumor resection: ADAURA” and Abstract #9501 “Nivolumab + ipilimumab + 2 cycles of platinum-doublet chemotherapy vs 4 cycles chemo as first-line treatment for stage IV/recurrent non-small cell lung cancer: CheckMate 9LA.”
