Abstract
With the assumption of the validity of the Hardin Jones principle that the death rate of members of a homogeneous cohort of cancer patients is constant, three criteria for the validity of clinical trials of cancer treatments are formulated. These criteria are satisfied by most published clinical trials, but one trial was found to violate all three, rendering the validity of its reported results uncertain.Entities:
