Introduction

At the 2023 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) annual congress in Madrid, Spain, new clinical trial data on breast, lung, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and skin cancers were reported. In this module, Joyce O’Shaughnessy, MD; Natasha Leighl, MD, FRCPC, FASCO; John Marshall, MD; Daniel P. Petrylak, MD; and Evan J. Lipson, MD, review and discuss the clinical implications of key studies presented at the meeting.

The key points discussed in this module are illustrated with thumbnails from the accompanying downloadable PowerPoint slidesets, which can be found here or downloaded by clicking any of the slide thumbnails in the module alongside the expert commentary.

Clinical Care Options plans to measure the educational impact of this activity.
