Conflict of Interest (COI)

Industry-academic collaborative clinical oncology research entails benefits to society (public interest) from the fruits of discharging academic and ethical responsibility, as well as money, status, rights, and other benefits (private interest) acquired attendant on industry-academic collaboration. When these two types of benefit are in conflict within an individual researcher, it is called a “conflict of interest.” The occurrence of conflict of interest is unavoidable in today’s complex social activities, and legal restrictions apply to certain activities.
