"Tell me, Muse, the story of that resourceful man who was driven to wander far and wide after he had sacked Troy. He saw the cities of many people and he learnt their ways. Tell us this story, goddess daughter of Zeus, beginning at whatever point you will." So begins Homer's epic The Odyssey, the story of the titular hero Odysseus' long, long, LONG journey from the ruins of Troy to his home of Ithaca. Just as Odysseus set out from Troy, so do Michael and Josh begin an "odyssey" of their own. The American Society of Clinical Oncology's 2024 meeting is in full swing, bringing a veritable Charybdis of content into the world of medical oncology. The starting point for this epic journey is updates to non-small cell lung cancer, including a new contender for our hosts' favourite study of all time.
