Abstract Exceptions

If information from the abstract or additional study data are disclosed in advance of public release in conjunction with the ASCO Annual Meeting, the abstract will no longer be eligible for inclusion in the Meeting unless an official Abstract Exception applies.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Exception applies to the extent necessary to comply with securities laws. Guidance on the SEC Exception is available from ASCO.

Other Abstract Exceptions to the Confidentiality Policy may be granted by ASCO in rare circumstances for public health reasons or to meet requirements of a government agency. In either of these cases, the First Author should contact communications@asco.org to request an exception.
