In today’s episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Patrick Borgen, MD, chair of the Department of Surgery and director of the Breast Cancer Program at Maimonides Medical Center, a community hospital in Brooklyn, New York. COVID-19 ravaged Maimonides in 2020 and 2021 and Dr Borgen saw the grim consequences first-hand.
The desperate scramble to understand the disease “broke” the peer review system, pushing immature, and sometimes inaccurate, science into the public sphere, he said. In this episode, Dr Borgen recapped a presentation he made at the 2022 Miami Breast Cancer Conference® highlighting the flaws with preprints, outlining his recommendations for fixing peer review, and explaining how this affects cancer research.
