In this special ASCO 2026 edition of The Oncology Journal Club, Craig Underhill, Chris Jackson and Kate Clarke unpack some of the meeting’s most talked-about studies and discuss what they could mean for clinical practice.
From the PROTEUS trial in high-risk prostate cancer and promising advances in RET fusion-positive lung cancer, to a rare sarcoma study demonstrating the potential of CDK4 inhibition, the team explores the data behind the headlines and highlights the challenges of translating trial results into real-world care.
The episode also dives into what many are calling the breakthrough study of the meeting – the RESOLUTE-302 trial of daraxonrasib in previously treated pancreatic cancer. With a striking overall survival benefit in a disease that has seen few meaningful advances, the results sparked excitement throughout the oncology community.
Along the way, the panel reflects on the atmosphere at ASCO, emerging trends in precision oncology, and how new therapeutic approaches such as KRAS inhibitors, bispecific antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates are reshaping the future of cancer treatment.
