Improving the Quality of Cancer Clinical Trials: Workshop

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Patlak, Margie / Nass, Sharyl, PUBLISHER: National Academies Press, Scientists and clinicians seek a new paradigm that could improve the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and overall success rate of cancer clinical trials, while maintaining the highest standards of quality.
