🚨 Final day at #ASCO2026!
This week we've seen advances in AI, blood-based biomarkers, immunotherapy, and precision oncology—all focused on delivering the right treatment to the right patient at the right time.
Stay tuned for Day 4 highlights. 👇
🧬 @DrBetofMDPhD shares phase II results of OBX115, an engineered TIL therapy showing a 67% response rate in advanced melanoma, with a favorable safety profile and no need for systemic IL-2.

🎗️ Dr. Ghassan Abou-Alfa shares results from EMERALD-3, where adding STRIDE TACE improved PFS to ~13 months versus 8–9 months with TACE alone in intermediate-stage HCC, supporting a potential new standard of care.

🧬 Dr. Elizabeth McDonald discusses research linking GLP-1 agonist use to a 30% lower incidence of breast cancer, highlighting a potential new avenue for cancer prevention.

👁️ Dr. Marlana Orloff shares OptimUM-02 findings showing darovasertib plus crizotinib improved outcomes in metastatic uveal melanoma, addressing a major unmet need for HLA-A2 negative patients.

🎗️ Dr. Shilpa Gupta discusses the phase III MAIN-CAV trial, where adding cabozantinib to avelumab maintenance showed no clear benefit in advanced urothelial cancer, while biomarker analyses continue.

📊 Dr. Claudio Vernieri presents PALMARES-2 data showing selected patients with HR /HER2− advanced breast cancer may benefit from continuing first-line ET CDK4/6 inhibition beyond progression.

🎗️ Dr. Lucy Gilbert shares subgroup analyses from the phase III ROSELLA trial, showing relacorilant maintained its survival benefit regardless of prior taxane exposure in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

🤖 Dr. Paolo Ciracì highlights an AI-powered histopathology biomarker that may help identify which patients with metastatic colorectal cancer benefit most from upfront treatment intensification.
bit.ly/4obI6dl#ASCO2026
🔬 Dr. Maggie Banys-Paluchowski presents AXSANA findings showing tumour biology—not the number of involved lymph nodes—is the strongest predictor of axillary response after neoadjuvant therapy.
bit.ly/4x1oGM7#ASCO2026
📈 Dr. Robert Stein discusses the OPTIMA trial, demonstrating that genomic testing can identify many patients with ER /HER2− early breast cancer who may safely avoid chemotherapy.
bit.ly/4u8UD2C#ASCO2026
🧬 Dr. Pavlos Msaouel presents findings supporting EGFR blockade in SMARCB1-deficient renal medullary carcinoma, offering a potential new treatment strategy for this rare disease.
bit.ly/4fkHIXG#ASCO2026
🥗 Dr. Livia Augustin explores how Mediterranean diet, physical activity, and vitamin D may influence breast cancer recurrence and cardiometabolic health in a multicentre randomized study.
bit.ly/4u8Uv38#ASCO2026
🤝 Dr. Achim Wöckel reviews the BETTER-CARE trial, evaluating individualized, needs-based follow-up care for patients after primary breast cancer treatment.
bit.ly/4ffN5aw#ASCO2026
🧬 @DrBetofMDPhD discusses phase II results of OBX-115, an engineered TIL therapy featuring membrane-bound IL-15, showing promising activity in advanced melanoma after immune checkpoint inhibitors.
bit.ly/4uPLFbQ#ASCO2026
🎗️ @ATarhiniMDPhD reviews a phase II study of neoadjuvant ipilimumab, nivolumab, and relatlimab in high-risk resectable melanoma, highlighting the continued evolution of combination immunotherapy approaches.
