Basel, November 25, 2024 -- Novartis will present data from more than 65 abstracts, including investigator-initiated trials at the 66(th) American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting & Exposition and the 2024 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium(R) (SABCS).

"By prioritizing research in areas of greatest medical need and focusing on earlier stages of disease, we aim to change the treatment paradigm for people who require additional treatment options," said Jeff Legos, Executive Vice President, Global Head of Oncology Development, Novartis. "The new data being presented at ASH and SABCS underscore our commitment to patients with cancer or blood disorders and follow new, expanded indications for Scemblix and Kisqali along with recent updates in national treatment guidelines."

In addition to late-breaking data, Novartis will host an art gallery-style exhibit at SABCS featuring personal letters and stories written by people impacted by breast cancer, sharing their raw, authentic perspectives on aspects of the breast cancer journey. These letters and stories aim to uplift patients, encourage reflection, and demonstrate strength and unity among the breast cancer community.
