[Harold J. Burstein, MD, PhD, FASCO @DrHBurstein]

Much talk of BICR (blinded independent central review) @ASCO.
cf https://t.co/YJPeo3RDYU "BICRs may introduce bias because of informative censoring, which results from having to censor unconfirmed locally determined progressions."
i.e. tends to overstate PFS

Aside trials testing Innovations, there is a need for trials testing pragmatic questions in oncology. These trials must ↘️↘️ the nb of data collected & bureaucracy. This is 1 of the 4 pillars of clinical research strategy @GustaveRoussy 1/2 https://t.co/aqMuvtI6zt

#SABCS23 PROSPECT trial allowed identifying a group of patients in whom RT could be omitted.
The next step... de-escalation of what greatly impacts HRQoL...ET!

@SpinTelAU Agree. Poor customer service and poor communication. Put up barriers rather than solving problems. International roaming charges are a joke.

Reading good review articles can shape ideas, help connecting the dots and understanding what’s coming ahead in science.

Here’s 10 review articles that helped me shape my views on breast oncology and drug development:

[Nicholas Zdenkowski @NickZdenkowski]

@matteolambe Good to have choice! I wonder if the lower dose will be more tolerable, to help keep people on treatment for the full duration. See how it all pans out at ASCO

[Aaron Sverdlov @SverdlovAaron]

It was a privilege to give the Barbara Ell Seminar at Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute the other week on Novel biomarkers and Cardio-Protective strategies in #CardioOncology and highlight the work from our #Newcastle_Centre_of_Excellence_in_CardioO…https://t.co/6ONREXybpX
