ABSTRACT
Financial conflicts of interest and other competing interests
have been relevant ethical concerns even before
their formal recognition in 1984. Indeed, it is agreed that
all actors involved in biomedical research must be aware
of these undue influences and held responsible of their
proper management.
Although financial conflicts of interest are widespread
and make headlines as illustrated by the recent scandal
around Joseph Baselga, so-called intellectual or nonfinancial
conflicts such as those arising from personal relationships
also exist.
