Ep 56: Best of 2024: ASCO

Summary

Verbalizing punctuation for laughs...background wood noises ... and out of office replies get things started.

In this episode of Melanoma Matters, hosts James Larkin and Sapna Patel record their first in a series of "Best of 2024" and review highlights from the ASCO Annual Meeting. They focus on 4 significant trials: NADINA, COMBI-AD, KEYNOTE 942, and RELATIVITY 048.

James & Sapna discuss the implications of these studies on the melanoma landscape, the importance of long-term follow-up data, and share some light-hearted moments about out-of-office messages.
