Clinical Trials in Oncology, Third Edition

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This book provides a very clear and concise overview of the main issues in the design, data management, and analysis of clinical trials. Although the examples used are from oncology trials, the principles apply to all clinical trials and so will be of use to a wide audience. The book is well written and easy to read ... recommended reading to anyone involved in the design and running of clinical trials, not just statisticians, although some familiarity with statistical terminology would help. ... a very useful and accessible reference, which covers the essential statistical elements of designing and running clinical trials all in one book, which is extensively illustrated with real examples."

"With over 60 years combined experience, the authors are ideally positioned to discuss the various statistical issues apparent in clinical trials, identifying alternative solutions, providing logical arguments for and against the various solutions. This book is also recommended for statisticians actively involved in the design, conduct, and analysis of clinical trial data (not only cancer clinical trials)."
-Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics"A concise, easily readable, and thorough summary...ALL medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, and clinical research nurse academic training programs should provide this important text to trainees on Day 1."
