Johnson, MD, FASCO, sets an exciting tone for the presentation of advances in the field of cancer care. Delivering Discoveries: Expanding the Reach of Precision Medicine highlights the importance of making precision medicine accessible to every patient with cancer.

Know Before You Go

The Attendee Resource Center houses several tools to help you prepare for your meeting -experience.

• Build your personalized itinerary with the -iPlanner, a scheduling tool that allows you to search by session, speaker, or abstract to narrow down sessions of interest. The iPlanner is available via a desktop site and as a mobile app for Apple and Android devices, and syncs between both platforms, so the schedule you build on your computer will be available to you on your phone at the meeting.
• Need help with your schedule? iPlanner’s Session Recommender will suggest sessions based on your professional role, oncology specialty, and personal interests—simply complete a short survey and review your personalized session recommendations. Your schedule will sync automatically with the web and mobile versions of the iPlanner.
• Browse and download abstracts being presented at this year’s meeting. Abstracts can be downloaded in multiple file formats.
• Review articles written by Annual Meeting faculty in the ASCO Educational Book. This peer-reviewed and PubMed-indexed publication highlights standards of care and offers insight into future therapeutic possibilities in oncology. Current and past volumes of the ASCO Educational Book are available to view for free on asco.org/edbook.
