Abstract Policies
Upon submission of an abstract to the Annual Meeting, the First Author must agree to the following Confidentiality Policy on behalf of all parties involved with the abstract, including the Sponsor. The First Author is also responsible for communicating this policy to all involved parties.
The First Author is also responsible for adhering to the ASCO Conflict of Interest Policy, obtaining disclosure information from all coauthors, and ensuring that all coauthors meet the definition of authorship as stated by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. Author disclosure for the First Author and all coauthors must be declared at the time of abstract submission. If the First Author is employed by a commercial interest as defined by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education, an alternate presenter who does not have a relevant employment relationship must be named if the abstract is selected for presentation in an Oral Abstract Session or Clinical Science Symposium.
