Abstract
The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the largest clinical oncology meeting in the USA, meets annually and reproducibly provides an exciting forum to present new cancer clinical trials and research data. The ASCO 2012 CNS tumors section comprised 3 days of presentations and over 130 abstracts, providing an overview of neuro-oncology, including both metastatic diseases of the CNS and primary brain tumors. This brief review attempts to highlight select abstracts presented at this year's meeting in an organized manner that will provide a portrait of a large and multifaceted meeting.
