This book introduces and discusses the most important aspects of clinical research methods and biostatistics for oncologists, pursuing a tailor-made and practical approach. Evidence-based medicine (EBM) has been in vogue in the last few decades, particularly in rapidly advancing fields such as oncology. This approach has been used to support decision-making processes worldwide, sparking new clinical research and guidelines on clinical and surgical oncology. Clinical oncology research has many peculiarities, including specific study endpoints, a special focus on survival analyses, and a unique perspective on EBM. However, during medical studies and in general practice, these topics are barely taught. Moreover, even when EBM and clinical cancer research are discussed, they are presented in a theoretical fashion, mostly focused on formulas and numbers, rather than on clinical application for a proper literature appraisal. Addressing that gap, this book discusses more practical aspects of clinical research and biostatistics in oncology, instead of relying only on mathematical formulas and theoretical considerations. Methods and Biostatistics in Oncology will help readers develop the skills they need to understand the use of research on everyday oncology clinical practice for study design and interpretation, as well to demystify the use of EBM in oncology.

Essentials of Research Methodology and Biostatistics serve as an introduction to research and biostatistics, preparing learners to critically evaluate research studies and conduct their statistical analyses. The starting part of the book will be devoted to topics including research study classification, study design, experimental design, data measurement and analysis, and ethical research conduct. The book will introduce learners to the foundations of epidemiology, including bias, confounding, and standard epidemiology indicators. The middle part of the book is designed to serve learners who have had little to no prior exposure to biostatistical techniques. This book offers a review of fundamental statistical ideas to learners who have already attended a statistics course related to their study. Descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, p-values, sample size, and statistical power are just some of the fundamentals that will be covered in this primer. This book on research methodology and biostatistics addresses a wide range of related subjects, such as how to quantify illness prevalence using biostatistical methods and how to measure and scale techniques in research. Also covered in this book are the fundamentals of hypothesis testing and the methods for determining the validity and reliability of diagnostic and screening tests.

Research technique refers to the actual procedures followed in a study. Specifically, it is the manner a researcher organizes a study such that the results are reliable and valid, and in line with the study's stated goals. This book, Introduction to Biostatistics & Research Methodologies, is written for researchers and students in the health sciences who want a broad introduction to biostatistics. This book on biostatistics and research methodology examines the many applications of statistics that can be found in the medical and health professions. These applications can be found in a broad range of settings. The methods of research as well as biostatistics are broken down in this book, together with their underlying concepts, principles, and processes, as well as the many fields in which they are used. The scientific field of biostatistics is still in its infancy, yet its development is proceeding at a breakneck speed. This branch of study has a wide variety of applications in the area of pharmaceutical research and the practice of pharmacy. The discipline of pharmacy places a significant emphasis on research. A researcher must have a solid foundational knowledge of research fundamentals for a study to be considered successful. These fundamentals include research methodology, experimental designs as well as procedures, and data analysis techniques that would provide accurate as well as insightful interpretations of the data.
