          You’re reading the web edition of ASCO in 30 Seconds, STAT’s guide to the American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting. Sign up for the last day here.

          ASCO is more than half done. There is free coffee on the exhibit floor. One booth barista said their team had made 1,400 espressos in a day. Everyone’s perspective is alternating between two verses from Smashing Pumpkins, who are, lest you forget, a Chicago band. “Today is the greatest day I’ve ever known.” Also: “I’ll burn my eyes out before I get out.”
