"Here at last, at the edge of the sea, comes the end of our Fellowship." So said Gandalf the White at the conclusion of J.R.R Tolkien's epic The Lord of the Rings. Today, Josh and Michael have a no less epic conclusion to their own adventure, that of ASCO 2024. Over the last fifteen days, our intrepid hosts have journeyed across the world of medical oncology, from the highs of colorectal, breast and lung cancer to the dark days of central nervous system tumours. As is our tradition, we end our coverage with a look at the studies chosen by the ASCO committee as worthy of special attention: the plenary presentations. It is rare indeed to have four presentations in one year that all change clinical practice, but that is what we have been treated to this year.

Thank you for joining us for coverage of ASCO 2024; we have enjoyed ourselves immensely in covering it, and we hope you have enjoyed our meandering journey through some of the best oncology researchers in the world. We will be back in a couple of weeks as Oncology for the Inquisitive arm returns to its normal programming.

Today is the penultimate episode in our ASCO 2024 Odyssey. Michael and Josh have neglected sarcoma to date, but today is the day@ Sarcoma is rare, where clinician experience becomes paramount to treatment options and outcomes. They develop in soft tissues and bones and vary in origin, including deep soft tissue, bone, nerves, etc. Today, they explore three trials. The first is paclitaxel and avelumab in inoperable angiosarcoma, the second is perioperative radiotherapy with adjuvant immunotherapy in high-risk soft tissue sarcoma, and the final is a good old head-to-head trial of perioperative chemotherapy in soft tissue sarcoma (adriamycin plus ifosfamide vs gemcitabine and docetaxel.
