Article Synopsis
- Epidemiological cancer research is crucial for understanding tumors and developing new treatments, yet Brazil has low participation in clinical trials, with only 2.2% of ongoing trials available despite 625,000 new cancer cases in 2022.
- An online survey of 109 Brazilian physicians, mainly oncologists, aimed to assess their involvement in research and identify barriers to conducting clinical trials.
- Results showed that while 89.9% of physicians found clinical trial participation important, 31.2% invite less than 1% of their patients to join trials, mainly due to a shortage of available studies and qualified personnel.
