Mount Sinai Researchers to Present Expansive Range of Cancer Research at 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting
Studies span myelofibrosis, lung cancer, multiple myeloma, urothelial cancer, gynecologic cancers, and care innovation
Researchers and clinicians from the Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center will present new research at the 2026 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), taking place Friday, May 29, through Tuesday, June 2, at McCormick Place in Chicago.
Mount Sinai investigators will contribute to presentations across multiple cancer specialties, including hematologic malignancies, thoracic oncology, urothelial cancer, gynecologic oncology, translational science, and cancer care delivery.
“ASCO is one of the most important global forums for advancing cancer research and improving patient care,” said Ramon E. Parsons, MD, PhD, Director of the Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center and Dean for Cancer Research at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. “The breadth of research being presented by Mount Sinai investigators reflects our commitment to translating scientific discovery into more effective, personalized treatments and better outcomes for patients with cancer.”
Among the highlights is a late-breaking oral presentation by John Mascarenhas, MD, Professor of Medicine (Hematology and Medical Oncology) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Director of the Center of Excellence for Blood Cancer and Myeloid Disorders at Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center, who will present findings from the phase 3 SENTRY trial evaluating selinexor plus ruxolitinib in patients with JAK inhibitor-naïve myelofibrosis. The study will be presented during the Hematologic Malignancies oral abstract session on June 2.
Additional Mount Sinai research being presented at ASCO includes studies examining novel immunotherapies and antibody-drug conjugates in lung cancer, circulating tumor DNA and biomarker-driven approaches in urothelial cancer, treatment strategies for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, and outcomes research focused on head and neck cancer and gynecologic malignancies.
