Oncology Example
Sample Size for survival analysis
What sample size is required for a study to have 90% power for a comparison of two year survival after surgery for a brain tumor for patients treated with a new combination of chemotherapy and radiation versus those treated with standard methods?…Read More

Second Oncology Example
Sample Size for non-inferiority for survival studies
Many cancer drugs although effective in prolonging survival put patients at considerable risk for serious adverse events. A new drug with an improved safety profile would be of interest even if it did not increase survival as long as survival was not decreased…Read More
