The annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology or ASCO kicks off June 3 in Chicago. More than 30,000 people in the oncology field will gather for more than 4,000 presentations of clinical data. Though this is a scientific conference, it’s one that Wall Street watches closely. We spoke to Adam Feuerstein, senior columnist for TheStreet.com, about the upcoming meeting, what buzz the early release of abstracts is creating, and what companies he’ll be watching.
