Abstract

[Oncology clinical trials are often complex leading to years of research and generation of vast amounts of data. Statistical graphics play an invaluable role in transforming these multifaceted data into crisp and simplified visuals that assist researchers to quickly and accurately study the results, detect data trends and patterns, and suggest hypotheses. In other words, “Excellence in statistical graphics consists of complex ideas communicated with clarity, precision, and efficiency.” The focus of this chapter is to provide a sampling of useful statistical graphics routinely used in clinical oncology research and their utility in communicating information clearly and more efficiently than solely reviewing tables of numerical output. The graphics presented are commonly used during trial design planning, interim analyses, and final analyses of clinical efficacy data.]
