The ASCO Post magazine published a special issue following the annual cancer conference of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) held in Chicago at the McCormick Place Convention Center on May 30, 2024. Lebanese doctor Philip Salem was selected for its cover among 10 leading doctors in cancer treatment and research. The magazine, distributed to 50,000 doctors attending the meeting, wrote: "From a small town in Lebanon (Batrak, Koura), a young doctor followed his passion and reached global recognition in cancer research." Professor Salem will go to Japan in August 2024 to attend the ASCO Breakthrough meeting to present his latest research there, which is considered a major breakthrough in cancer treatment.
