The science is shifting in oncology: Are you ready to evolve with it?

Patty Zipfel, PhD, SVP, Scientific Strategy, Inizio Evoke.

This year’s ASCO® meeting spotlighted a bold shift in oncology: the possibility of curing metastatic disease. A new trial design in metastatic breast cancer introduced a ground-breaking endpoint – patients progression-free at four years – challenging long-held assumptions.

Key themes included the rise of CAR-T therapies in solid tumors, the dominance of ADCs, and the expanding role of biomarkers in driving precision medicine. Emerging tools like AI-powered biomarker detection and ctDNA for real-time monitoring are reshaping how sequencing, resistance, and adaptive treatments are approached.

Beyond the science, ASCO® 2025 underscored a new strategic imperative: it’s no longer enough to track progress – we must rethink how we plan, communicate, and act on these advances.
