From December 5 to 7, 2025, the highly anticipated European Society for Medical Oncology Asia Congress (ESMO Asia 2025) was grandly held in Singapore. During the Mini Oral Session: Gastrointestinal Tumours, Professor George Lau, Chairman of the Hong Kong Humanity Medical Group and Director of the Humanity Medical Clinical Research CenterSenior Consultant in Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Humanity and Health Medical Center, Principal Investigator of the Humanity and Health Clinical Trial Center, as well as a physician Honorary Professor and Senior Consultant at Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, was invited to deliver an oral presentation. For the first time, he shared the research data on the treatment of Asian patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using Tremelimumab in combination with Durvalumab. This study is based on a sample that more closely reflects the epidemiological characteristics and disease spectrum of Asian patients, providing high-quality evidence-based medical evidence with targeted relevance. It lays a solid foundation for optimizing and advancing the individualization and precision of liver cancer treatment strategies in this region.

At the recent ESMO Asia 2025 Congress, a study by Professor Darren Poon's team at the Hong Kong Comprehensive Oncology Centre was selected, bringing a new precision medicine strategy to patients with advanced prostate cancer.
