A few years ago, I never thought I would follow an oncology conference with excitement. But here I am and I am sure you have seen a lot of news on melanoma due to the upcoming ASCO conference this weekend since melanoma drugs are a top focus at the conference. The results of the Ipi trials are what I am waiting to hear about, but here is a good overview of the "Drugs to Watch at ASCO". The last paragraph seems interesting – regarding the drug P28 for solid tumors: http://seekingalpha.com/article/272953-drugs-to-watch-at-asco-2011

    Forgot to mention that the MRF is also hosting the wrap up of the ASCO news on the 13th. I am sure that will be a great webinar.
    
    I am praying for some great research results!
