Rare Cancers Europe (RCE) methodological recommendations for clinical studies in rare cancers: A European consensus position paper
2015
While they account for one-fifth of new cancer cases, rare cancers are difficult to study. A higher than average degree of uncertainty should be accommodated for clinical as well as for population-based decision making. Rules of rational decision making in conditions of uncertainty should be rigorously followed and would need widely informative clinical trials. In principle, any piece of new evidence would need to be exploited in rare cancers. Methodologies to explicitly weigh and combine all the available evidence should be refined, and the Bayesian logic can be instrumental to this end. Likewise, Bayesian-design trials may help optimize the low number of patients liable to be enrolled in …

: The pupils' learning in their context : the effects of the composition of the school environment
2003
Whilst we admit to recognising the contextualised character of pupils' learning, the no less essential influence of the parameters of the school or social context remains a relatively unemplored field. Of course, the mobility of school effectiveness amply demonstrates the influence of the school of class attended by the pupils on their progression. But in the search for general factors of effectiveness, this trend has had few questions asked of it concerning the relationship with the characteristics of the pupil public. However, all work carried out on the impact of the forms of grouping of the pupils shows that both the average level of the group and the social composition (known in the An…
