title: [How to read and assess oncological scientific research articles in English?].
abstract: Peer review of an english oncological paper needs to focus on the principal evaluation criteria. The total of patients is a crucial element to determine the power of the study. This number must be determined before starting the trial and must be raised at the end before interpreting results. Results and statistical analysis should be evaluated by the reviewer, keeping in mind that the weight of evidence is not correlated to the "p" value.
