Abstract
Clinical trials cooperation is not a luxury; it is a necessity, now more than ever, first in light of the segmentation of tumors according to their molecular targets-which are being matched to an increasing number of competitive drugs-and second because it is the only chance to maintain academic research centered on addressing patients' needs. In its 21 years of existence, the Breast International Group, an umbrella organization supporting the activities of 54 member groups across six continents, has been confronted with challenges that include (1) keeping trust and motivation within the network; (2) improving the interface between academia and industry; (3) improving patient involvement and trust in clinical trials; and (4) fundraising for noncommercial research. We describe how these challenges have been addressed so far, with the hope of empowering the next generation of clinical investigators.
期刊介绍：
The Ed Book is a National Library of Medicine–indexed collection of articles written by ASCO Annual Meeting faculty and invited leaders in oncology. Ed Book was launched in 1985 to highlight standards of care and inspire future therapeutic possibilities in oncology. Published annually, each volume highlights the most compelling research and developments across the multidisciplinary fields of oncology and serves as an enduring scholarly resource for all members of the cancer care team long after the Meeting concludes. These articles address issues in the following areas, among others: Immuno-oncology, Surgical, radiation, and medical oncology, Clinical informatics and quality of care, Global health, Survivorship.
