ASCO this year has 5,000+ abstracts.
But maybe 24 will actually change practice. This is that map.
(ERRATA: this plot fixes an error on VICTORIA which reflected incorrect data, thnx @Dr_RShatsky)
Map spans 12 disease areas, 24 critical readouts, 5 plenaries & 2 confirmed misses already on the board.
Few things jump out immediately:
▫️Pancreatic cancer gets the headline.
Daraxonrasib: 13.2 vs 6.7 months.
▫️Sarcoma gets a plenary because public science funded what pharma would not.
▫️Lung cancer remains the most crowded battlefield in oncology:
RET adjuvant, bispecific OS, post-osimertinib, next-gen EGFR.
By next week, some of these cells will become new standards of care.
This is your cheat sheet to keep score in real time.

"Maintaining quality of life (QoL) is an important treatment goal in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Evidence remains limited regarding longitudinal QoL changes, prognostic value, and contribution to treatment benefit."

A real-world study of #mHSPC patients: Comparative survival with apalutamide and enzalutamide. Neal Shore, MD, FACS @CURCMB joins @neerajaiims@huntsmancancer in this discussion on UroToday. Using inverse probability of treatment weighting statistical modeling, results demonstrated a hazard ratio of 0.77 favoring apalutamide, representing a 23% reduction in risk of death at 24 months. #WatchNow on UroToday > https://t.co/hHxOin5gj7

Coffee and tea: the rare “habit” that might come with a tiny brain bonus ☕🧠
This is observational, so it’s a link, not proof.
But the pattern is interesting: moderate caffeinated coffee/tea ↘️ dementia risk.
Prospective, multicenter study in men ≥70 yrs with metastatic PC. Baseline cognitive impairment was present in 51% of pts receiving ADT + ARPI vs 26% with ADT alone & 10% in controls.
After ARPI initiation, attention & processing speed declined at 3–12 months (p<0.01), global decline was uncommon (<6%) but clinically meaningful. Supporting routine cognitive assessment when starting ARPIs in older pts.
