MADRID — If you had to pinpoint one subject that stood out at this year’s European Society for Medical Oncology meeting, a massive conference with thousands of people from 140-some countries and 2,500 studies presented, it would be a burgeoning type of cancer treatment called antibody-drug conjugates.

GSK followed up with an ADC licensing announcement of its own (if a much smaller one). Multiple ADC studies were presented at the meeting’s top sessions. ADCs were, in short, the belle of the cancer research ball.
