The inability to identify relevant markers for presymptomatic screening in early stage or "preinvasive" ovarian cancer has plagued investigators and clinicians facing the problems of early detection. The characteristic late stage of disease at initial presentation has hindered our understanding of t

We describe a meta-analysis approach for the evaluation of a potential surrogate marker. Surrogate markers are useful in helping to identify therapeutic mechanisms of action and disease pathogenesis, and for selecting therapies to take forward from phase II to phase III clinical trials. They have al
We consider multivariate tests for comparing two treatments with multiple endpoints. The test decision is drawn from the simultaneous consideration of the univariate tests for the single endpoints. A general class of these tests, called cut-o! tests, can be given, which, however, can lead to highly
