A technoraty search this morning for asco 2007 oncology lists 425 blog posts. Most blog entries cover drug and biotech companies, as the clinical trial results presented at ASCO have a substantial impact on the future of these companies. Finding blog entries with information for cancer researchers or clinical oncologists is more difficult.

I would like to see more blogs like Dr. Len’s Cancer Blog. Dr. Len Lichtenberg, Deputy Chief Medical Officer for the national office of the American Cancer Society, covers the ASCO meeting from a professional, but still very personal perspective.

OncTalk is a blog by Dr. Howard West that focuses on lung cancer. His expert opinion allows him to not only report the news, but also filter out what is important and comment on the findings.

The Cheerful Oncologist reports about one of the biggest news of this year’s meeting, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor sorafenib extending survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Let’s hope that there will be more blogs in ASCO 2008. Until then, those of us can’t go to ASCO themselves have to find other ways to figure out what is new in clinical oncology.
