Debu Tripathy, CURE's editor-in-chief, is in Chicago for the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. He explains why the meeting is so important to clinicians and patients, as well as to the broader oncology community."This is one of the most important hallmark meetings of our profession. It is where the latest updates are presented and also debated," he says. "Ultimately, it's the clinicians and the sometimes the patients who have to decide on what's incorporated into standard care."
