Clinical Trials in Cancer: Principles and Practice (Oxford Medical Publications)

This book provides a practical and authoritative text on how to carry out cancer clinical trials. It covers the principles and practice of planning, designing and conducting clinical trials as well as the analysis and reporting of results, incorporating recent developments and innovations in the field over the last decade. Emphasis is on the latter phases of cancer clinical trials as these are quite distinct from the design and analysis of the first stage of studies.
