Discover the most anticipated late-breaking abstracts in gastrointestinal cancers at ESMO 2025 and influence the conversation in oncology research.

The 2025 European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress in Berlin, Germany, begins on October 17. This year, several late-breaking abstracts (LBAs) across gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies are poised to be practice-changing.

To find out which LBAs are most important to Targeted Oncology readers, we’re launching a series of polls to identify the most exciting research results in colorectal cancer (CRC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), gastroesophageal (GE) cancer, and more. Voting is now open on LinkedIn, X, and Facebook through October 8, 2025.
