  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 clinical trial. Clinicians face considerable risks-subtle and ever present-when designing trials and interpreting data. This book deals with all aspects of successful trials in a manner accessible to clinicians. Topics addressed include advantages and disadvantages of multi-arm trials; pitfalls to avoid, such as analyzing survival by response or by dose; and how and whether meta-analyses are justified.
