The authors emphasize the importance of proper study design, analysis, and data management and identify the pitfalls inherent in these processes. In addition, the book has been restructured to have separate chapters and expanded discussions on general clinical trials issues, and issues specific to Phases I, II, and III. New sections cover innovations in Phase I designs, randomized Phase II designs, and overcoming the challenges of array data. Although this book focuses on cancer trials, the same issues and concepts are important in any clinical setting. As always, the authors use clear, lucid prose and a multitude of real-world examples to convey the principles of successful trials without the need for a strong statistics or mathematics background. Armed with Clinical Trials in Oncology, Third Edition, clinicians and statisticians can avoid the many hazards that can jeopardize the success of a trial.

I wish I got this book when I started to do biostatistics for cancer clinical trials (about ten years ago). Many hard learned lessons and facts that I had to piece together are *beautifully* explained in this book. The fundamentals of biostatistics are clearly presented and the already excellent prose are enhanced by a steady stream of examples. I think the intended audience for this book is young cancer researchers but this is a superb primer for statisticians who want to know the vocabulary for cancer studies. In general the statistical content is reasonably up to date but the section on variable selection (using automatic stepwise methods) is badly in need of revision and inclusion of new methods (like lasso). Overall, this is an ideal read for young cancer researchers who are thinking about designing a trial or consuming the research literature.
