Welcome, everybody, to the 60th Annual ASCO Meeting. This meeting is an especially meaningful and exciting one for me because this comes on the heels of decades of really powerful advances across all of oncology, including, of course, targeted therapy, small molecules, immunotherapy, and engineered cells, among many other advances that I'd say in the last five to 10 years have truly transformed oncology. But what makes this year's meetings especially exciting, is that we have coupled this with a call for humanism in medicine and a reminder of the privilege of caring for patients and families through this most difficult time. Our president, Dr. Lynn Schuchter, who's been on the leading edge of the most exciting advances in cancer, especially those in melanoma, at the same time is one of the most compassionate, holistic kinds of physicians anyone could hope to see, and she brings that with passion to this meeting. So we're very, very excited by the inclusion of so many new resources and learnings for our community to help them help their patients around the world more effectively than ever before.

Peter Riedell, MD, on DLBCL: Expert Commentary on the DEB Study

Peter Riedell, MD, of The University of Chicago, discusses phase III results on the use of tucidinostat plus R-CHOP in patients with previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with double expression of MYC and BCL2. The regimen appeared to improve event-free survival and complete response rates vs R-CHOP in the front-line setting. As this is an interim analysis, longer-term follow-up will be needed to better understand its impact, says Dr. Riedell.

Laurence Albiges, MD, PhD, of Gustave Roussy, Université Paris-Saclay, discusses phase III findings showing that high baseline serum KIM-1 levels were associated with poorer prognosis but improved clinical outcomes with atezolizumab vs placebo in patients with renal cell carcinoma at increased risk of recurrence after resection. Increased post-treatment KIM-1 levels were found to be associated with worse disease-free survival (Abstract 4506).
