Recommended changes to oncology clinical trial design: Revolution or evolution?

Evolution or revolution: changes in the approach to urologic care.

the United States, standard open radical prostatectomy has almost been abandoned and replaced by robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP). In Canada, there are very few robotic systems other than in the major teaching centers. As we see in the article by Yuh and colleagues, the move from RALRP to robot-assisted partial nephrectomies was a natural evolution of the application of...

Clinical trial design in oncology: protocol design.

The protocol describes the objectives, design, methods, statistics, and organisation of the trial, as well as its background and aims—a good trial protocol addresses an important unanswered question. The type and phase of a clinical trial defines many specific parts of the protocol: clinical trials that include surgery or radiotherapy need indepth explanation of the procedures for quality assur...

Nanosciences : evolution or revolution ?

In miniaturised objects fabricated by modern technology the smallest linear size may be of a few nanometers. In the field of microelectronics, the advantages of such a miniaturisation are huge (increased complexity and reliability, reduced costs). The technology is now approaching the limits where further size reduction will be impossible, except for very novel techniques such as molecular elec...
