Clinicians face considerable risks when designing trials and interpreting data.
These risks are subtle and ever present. This book deals with all aspects of successful trials in a manner accessible to clinicians. After an introductory chapter, highlighted by a brief history telling how clinical trials were accepted as the cornerstone of established medical practice, the authors present an overview of the statistical principles underlying the proper design of trials and the analysis of resultant data. Clinical Trials in Oncology emphasizes the importance of proper study, design and data management, and explains why communication and partnership between statisticians and clinicians are vital to the conduct of a successful trial. Clinical Trials in Oncology is written for research oncologists and graduate students in biostatistics.
