“With the close of ASCO24 tomorrow, I want to thank friends and colleagues of the global oncology community for your support as I assume the Chair of American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) International Affairs Committee.

As an oncologist from Hong Kong, it’s a tremendous honour for me to take up this role.

Lots to learn in the coming year!”
