Multidisciplinary neuro-oncology clinics allow collaboration between various specialties and training levels. Building a tenable clinical research program based in the longitudinal dialogue and practice of collaborative clinicians and trainees can bridge clinical observations to research execution. However, forming a research team around a multidisciplinary clinic's activities is constrained by a lack of literature or guidelines. As well, challenges in sustaining team logistics, communication, and productivity can persist without a standardized team framework. This perspective discusses the state of research teams in clinical oncology, and uses experiences from the McMaster Pediatric Brain Tumour Study Group to guide those seeking to form a research team based on the collective activities and observations of a multidisciplinary clinic.
多学科神经肿瘤诊所允许不同专业和培训水平的人员进行协作。基于协作临床医生和受训人员的长期对话与实践建立一个可行的临床研究项目，可以将临床观察与研究执行联系起来。然而，围绕多学科诊所的活动组建研究团队受到文献或指南匮乏的限制。此外，如果没有标准化的团队框架，维持团队后勤、沟通和生产力方面的挑战可能会持续存在。本观点讨论了临床肿瘤学中研究团队的现状，并利用麦克马斯特儿科脑肿瘤研究小组的经验，为那些寻求基于多学科诊所的集体活动和观察结果组建研究团队的人提供指导。
