The ESMO Congress 2024 is ongoing in Barcelona, from September 13 to 17, 2024, at the Fira Barcelona Gran Via.

This significant event, organized by the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), attracted over 30,000 participants, including healthcare professionals, researchers, patient advocates, and industry representatives from around the globe.

The congress featured nearly 300 sessions, presenting over 2,000 abstracts, with a focus on the latest advancements in cancer research and treatment. Key topics included new therapeutic combinations for various cancers, the long-term effects of immunotherapy, and innovative approaches integrating artificial intelligence into cancer care.

Here are some highlights from ESMO Congress 2024 Day 2:

ESMO:

“The ESMO Women for Oncology Committee has been actively monitoring the representation of Female Oncologists in leadership roles since 2015. Despite progress in some areas, the representation of women in oncology leadership remains low, particularly at congresses, on society boards, and as leading authors in publications.

Helena Linardou will dive deeper in findings from this work on Monday, 16 September at 14:45 during the Policy and preventive strategies Mini Oral session. We encourage all delegates to attend for additional insights.”

“ESMO24 Lung Orals.

Super presentation by Benjamin Besse on mechanisms of acquired resistance to ami/laz in EGFR+ NSCLC shows potentially less RB1 loss/sclc transformation A clinically relevant outcome if confirmed clinically, one to watch.”

Yvonne Diaz:

 

“Treatment landscape for EGFR lung cancer is getting more complex – for clinicians and patients. But as Dr Jurgen Wolf says at ESMO24 ‘Always good to have several arrows in your quiver.’

 

Absolutely agree. Stratifying which patients are best for which option is key.”

“ESMO24 Lung Orals.

Provocative questions:

  • Corey Langer ‘is RB1 loss on cfDNA indicative of clinical sclc transformation?’
  • Tony Mok ‘does LaG3+ correlate with response to nivo-rel’
  • David Gandara ‘methylation may matter in EGFR+ acq resistance’”

Primary endpoint: rPFS
446 men, FU 42.2 months
HR for rPFS 0.69 (p=0.0009)
HR for OS 0.69 (p=0.0031)

Bone-protecting agent is mandatory!!!
More adverse grade 3 or greater AE (19 vs 28%).”
