One of the new aims of the CTOS organization is to incorporate the patient perspective in more of its sessions.
CTOS 2020 was conducted virtually from November 18th through the 21st, given the nature of our current environment, much of the content of the conference centered on COVID-19 and its impact on cancer patients, but there were a number of sessions and presentations and posters devoted to GIST as well.
