With advances in medical sciences, cancer research no longer focuses primarily on effective treatments, but rather a host of other issues such as tools for early diagnosis, cost of treatment and long-term care, and quality of life. Thus, in addition to traditional survival analyses for comparing treatment differences, modern clinical trials in cancer research are also designed to address these new emerging issues. This volume covers classic as well as cutting-edge topics on the analysis of clinical trial data in biomedical and psychosocial research and discusses each topic in an expository and user-friendly fashion.
