Kag: you're partially right. The normal process is to submit an abstract. Blockbuster data, however, is most often kept under wraps until the conference where it presented to an eager audience. Every year at ASCO, blockbuster data is released which has NOT been released to the public. That is an indisputable and quite famous phenomenon which has served as the annual "main event" in Biotech for many years...if you've followed the industry for any period of time you'd know that. You will see large spikes in the Biotech stocks on the week of ASCO because all the great data is NOT released to the public beforehand. In fact, if you've been paying attention to CNBC they've been making quite a big deal about how this year's ASCO is void of such blockbuster unveilings.
