The role of clinical researchers is vital to cancer progress. The teaching, research, and leadership roles that academic oncologists hold need to be accounted for and appropriately compensated. National metrics are currently inexistent, but are necessary to move the oncology research field forward. Clinical research and routine clinical care must be harmoniously integrated without competing. This article reviews the national landscape of clinical cancer research and proposes a call for action.
临床研究人员在癌症研究中发挥着至关重要的作用。学术肿瘤学家的教学、研究和领导作用需要得到重视和适当的补偿。目前还没有国家指标，但这对于推动肿瘤学研究领域的发展是必要的。临床研究和常规临床护理必须和谐统一，而不是相互竞争。本文回顾了国家临床癌症研究的现状，并呼吁采取行动。
