Bishal Gyawali: An important clarification for the ASCO24 audience regarding PFS

Bishal Gyawali, Associate Professor at Queen’s University, shared on X/Twitter:

“An important clarification for the ASCO24 audience regarding PFS. When people say PFS is a meaningful endpoint in itself, people are making a fallacious assumption that ‘all PFS events are created equal’. This is untrue.
I believe people are suggesting that delaying PFS automatically improves QOL which our study has shown not to be the case. So, why not just test for QOL and prove that QOL has improved rather than asking us to assume that QOL is better simply because PFS improved? More thoughts here.”
