american society of clinical oncology (asco)

The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting is scheduled for 1st - 5th June 2012 in Chicago. Apparently, it is a huge event (drawing an estimated 25,000 physicians) and showcases new and emerging procedures in the treatment of cancer.

Whilst researching the ASCO site I came across an Abstract for CVac which can be found at:

http://abstract.asco.org/AbstView_114_100245.html

"A study of autologous dendritic cell therapy targeting muchin-1 for treatment of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer in first remission."

The full Abstract can be found at the link above.

I'm assuming (but I can't confirm from the ASCO site) that a representative from PrimaBiomed will be present during the Category Session - Gynecological Cancer which is scheduled for Sunday, 3rd June 2012 between 8am and 12pm.

This seems to me to be a very positive initiative by Prima and will give the CANVAS trial a higher profile among physicians in the USA and beyond.
