Suneel and colleagues set out to determine how financial conflicts of interest could be used as a surrogate for the trajectory of early-career oncologists and junior faculty at academic institutions. He touched on how understanding relationships between clinicians and industry is important for both drug development as well as the early academic productivity of individual investigators.
