As the field of oncology has become increasingly complex, there has been a progressive movement toward the development of interdisciplinary teams to facilitate the development of research studies. The skills of many different experts are essential to effectively design and conduct a clinical trial. The key component of a successful clinical research program is a team of individuals who are committed to advancing patient care through the conduct of high-quality clinical trials. This team is responsible for the selection and implementation of good scientific protocols to meet the needs of specific patient populations. At the same time, the team must ensure the collection of quality data and the protection of the rights, interests, and safety of the patients, which remains the number-one priority in clinical research.
