13 – 16 June 2023, Brussels, Belgium

Develop the statistical knowledge required to
better understand today’s cancer clinical trials!

ABOUT

Today, statistics are critical to understand clinical trials. This EORTC course provides an introduction to the statistical methods used for the design, conduct and analysis of cancer clinical trials.

WHY ATTEND?

This course will help participants acquire a greater understanding of the statistical principles whilst avoiding too technical formulations.

Participants will be better equipped to design their own clinical research, work in a multidisciplinary team involving statisticians and to critically appraise the scientific value of published research.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This course is aimed at non-statisticians who work in clinical research or at statisticians with little or no experience in clinical trials.

Programme

Optional Introduction
