Accessible to statisticians in clinical trials as well as oncologists interested in clinical trial methodology, the book presents up-to-date statistical approaches to the design and analysis of oncology clinical trials. New topics in this edition include trial designs for targeted agents, Bayesian trial design, and the inclusion of high-dimensional data and imaging techniques. This edition also contains numerous figures and examples to better explain concepts.
