Workshop: Deconstructing Clinical Trials
Join us for a workshop designed to bring clarity to clinical trial research terms, led by Dr. Jan-Willem Henning, MD, FRCPC, a seasoned oncologist with extensive experience in breast cancer trials. This session will introduce patients to key terms—such as control arms, adverse events, survival rates, and response measures—in a way that bridges scientific language with practical understanding. Attendees will gain confidence in interpreting study results, making it easier to engage with their care team and make informed decisions.
