Over the years of navigating the annual meeting, I found the sessions with the most impact to my practice were the Plenary Sessions. During these sessions, the latest research is presented, new ideas are floated, and old myths debunked. Here are the top ACR2023 Plenary abstracts I found impactful for my practice.

Cancer risk minimisation is a high priority for people with rheumatic diseases, as it is for the general population. Tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) have a long history of association with cancer risk discussions. An oral presentation by Suarez-Almazor et al provided more supportive data on using TNFi in this population.

Our reporters have been prolific in finding the hot abstracts, those that were most attended or those that are getting the most buzz on social media.  Here are RheumNow's #ACRbest abstract reports from Monday, November 13, 2023 at #ACR23, covering The Great Debate, SGLPT2 inhibitors in SLE, the SMART Study of MTX, TMP/SMX Prophylaxis, RA-ILD & TNF Inhibitors, cancer research and more.
