Lugano, Switzerland, 15 September 2014 – Poster and Poster Discussion abstracts to be presented at the ESMO 2014 Congress will be published online on Wednesday, 17 September 2014 at 12:00 (CEST) to give you a first glimpse of what you can expect from the European medical oncology Congress, under the leading theme Precision Medicine in Cancer Care.
“We are at the point where genuinely targeted therapy is now possible for an increasing number of cancers. Practicing precision medicine means we are all working towards a common goal --improved patient outcomes. This is the ultimate goal of ESMO 2014”.
