This week, CancerNetwork sat down for a 1-on-1 conversation with former Chief Medical Officer and Executive Vice President of ASCO, Richard Schilsky, MD, to discuss ASCO’s 2021 "Advance of the Year," molecular profiling driving progress in gastrointestinal cancers. 

Schilsky discussed the progress being made in this field and the top research contributing to the momentum in gastrointestinal cancers, while also elaborating on health equity in cancer research, ASCO’s top research priorities moving forward, and more.

He also explained the changes forced on clinical trials due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, and how he anticipates trials can leverage these adjustments moving forward in a post-COVID world.
