The theme for the 2018 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology is “Delivering Discoveries: Expanding the Reach of Precision Medicine.” For St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, investigators present data on how St. Jude embraces the precision medicine model for treating and researching childhood cancer. CAR T-cell therapy, childhood cancer survivorship research and a number of clinical precision medicine applications are among the topics St. Jude researchers will discuss at the five-day meeting that begins Friday, June 1, in Chicago.
