Courageous keynote lecture from Benjamin Besse

Rodrigo Lastra del Prado, Medical Oncologist of Thoracic Tumor Unit at University Hospital, Zaragoza, Spain, posted on X:

“Extraordinary and courageous keynote lecture from Benjamin Besse. Overtreatment in oncology and de-escalation strategies. When less is more. Dosage in guidelines should be reviewed to reduce clinical toxicity…and financial toxicity.

I’ll download the session! Thanks ESMO.”

Bishal Gyawali, Associate Professor at Queen’s University, Kingston, shared this post on X, adding:

“Indeed. CSO does advocate for more of these de-escalation trials. Overtreatment should be viewed as ‘more than waste’ because we aren’t just squandering resources. If we are treating more than what’s needed, we are also exposing patients to side effects that could’ve been avoided.”
