AB To  select  the  optimal  treatment  for  patients,  clinical  oncologists  need  to  be  skilled  at  critically  evaluating  data  from  clinical  studies  and  interpreting  these  appropriately.  Clinicians  should  also  be  proficient  in  the  application  of  diagnostic  tests,  assessment  of  risk,  and  the  estimation  of  prognosis.  Equally,  scientists  involved  in  translational  research  should  be  aware  of  the  problems  and  pitfalls  in  undertaking  clinical  studies.  The  practice  of  oncology  is  increasingly  incorporating  genomic  assessment  both  to  provide  information  on  prognosis  and  to  allow  optimal  choice  of  therapy.  This  chapter  provides  a  critical  overview  of  methods  used  in  clinical  research.
