Entitled “Caring for Every Patient, Learning from Every Patient”, ASCO 2019 will be held in Chicago, USA from May 31 to June 4.

This year Genecast boarded this globally renowned academic platform at ASCO with a solid scientific research capacity accumulated over the years. A total of 24 related research projects were selected for this conference (online), covering over 10 areas ranging from breast cancer, digestive tract cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer and colorectal cancer, amongst others.
