ASCO 2026: Discover the Latest Breakthroughs and Clinical Insights

The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting is the world's largest oncology congress; it takes place every late May–early June in Chicago at the McCormick Place convention center, with over 40,000 delegates. The ASCO 2026 Annual Meeting is expected to showcase several practice-changing clinical data readouts, particularly during the Plenary Sessions, which highlight the most impactful oncology advancements. Scheduled from May 29 to June 2, 2026, the meeting will feature major updates across multiple tumor types, with a strong focus on pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and skin melanoma. Leading companies, including Revolution Medicines, Pfizer, Akeso, and AstraZeneca and others, are anticipated to present pivotal Phase III and late-stage clinical data that could significantly influence future treatment landscapes and clinical practice.

ASCO's annual plenary session features the congress's "showcase" studies. This year's five selected Late-Breaking Abstracts (LBAs) represent all five main axes of modern oncology: perioperative intensification, biology-driven drug repositioning in rare tumors, targeted adjuvant therapy, next-generation immunotherapy, and direct RAS inhibition.
