On October 22, 2026, just before the start of the ESMO Congress, I had the great honor and pleasure of giving a lecture at MD Anderson Cancer Center Madrid – Hospiten.
I also had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Prof. Sandra M. Swain, who gave a fantastic lecture on adjuvant treatment in breast cancer.
Here is my talk, entitled “How to Read Clinical Trial Reports: A Focus on Breast Cancer,” with timestamps if needed:
1:01 – The control arm
6:55 – Suboptimal post-protocol care: monarchE and NATALEE
18:04 – Interpreting PFS: the PATINA trial
22:59 – The basics of Kaplan–Meier, Part 1
25:08 – Introduction to informative censoring: the BREAKING-ICE App and PATINA
34:38 – Informative censoring in the adjuvant setting? NATALEE and “informative censoring areas”
37:47 – Conclusions
Thanks again to Dr Laura García Estévez, Head of the Oncology Unit, and Dr. Santiago González Moreno, Medical Director of MD Anderson Cancer Center Madrid – Hospiten, for their kind invitation and the great discussions!
