Over the past few years it has been interesting to watch AACR organise and group it’s sessions by pathways, so you end up with a higgledy piggledy collection of different inhibitors, therapeutics, chemotherapies etc as well as a mix of different tumour types. This works well for the scientist, less so for the clinician who may specialise in only a few cancer types. Meanwhile, at ASCO , everything is organised by cancer track, so if you want to search for data on say, MEK, AKT or c-MET inhibitors for example, then the data is now all over the place and trying to get round and find it all is much more difficult.
