Only limited research on engagement in and perceptions of relationships between academic oncology and industry has been done . The majority (85.3%) of respondents considered these collaborations important to their careers . Many (60%) shared concerns over potential conflict of interest if an individual with a compensated relationship promoted an industry product for clinical care/research, yet most respondents (67%) stated these relationships did not shape their interactions with patients . Conflicting findings highlight the importance of more dedicated research in this area .
