It's that time of year again! I will be posting my take on ASCO abstracts for the coming bit if any of you are interested. Yes, the selection is simply the product of what my random brain considers important. Consistent with most of my posts, the abstracts are presented as is and my take is in red below them. Those "takes" and opinions are mine alone. Take them as you will. I will be linking other recent pertinent articles or prior posts to some of them. The first two are snore-a-rifically long!!! Hopefully, others will not be!!!

The first is on vaccines:

This one looks at high hopes and NKTR-214:

And today there is one on outcomes after stopping anti-PD-1:

For what it's worth. Wishing you all my best. celeste

  Thanks Celeste! These are excellent I always look forward to ASCO– I think of it as summer camp for OncoNerds (in my dialect, really idiolect, Nerds are superheros). And I know good stuff comes out of it.
  
  Thanks for turning data into knowledge by compiling these reports and commenting on them.
  
  Shalom!
