BMS at June 2022 oncology and hematology congresses

Driving transformative science to advance the future of cancer care for all  

Intended for U.S. scientific audiences only.

Our data at the 2022 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and European Hematology Association (EHA) Annual Meetings reinforce our commitment to transforming the lives of patients with cancer and blood disorders through science. We look forward to sharing research across immuno-oncology, hematology and cell therapy that underscores our efforts to deliver long-term survival and improved outcomes for patients, providing options earlier in the cancer treatment continuum and introducing new mechanisms and clinical approaches. 

Delivering on the future of cancer care
