Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit. In order for the discoveries of Cleveland Clinic physicians' and scientists' laboratories and investigations to benefit the public, these discoveries must be commercialized in partnership with industry. As experts in their fields, Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists are often sought after by industry to consult, provide expertise and education.
To assure professional and commercial integrity in such matters, Cleveland Clinic maintains a program that reviews these collaborations and, when appropriate, puts measures in place to minimize bias that may result from ties to industry. Cleveland Clinic publicly discloses the names of companies when (i) its physicians/scientists receive $5,000 or more per year (or, in rare cases, equity or stock options) for speaking and consulting, (ii) its physicians/scientists serve as a fiduciary, (iii) its physicians/scientists receive or have the right to receive royalties or (iv) its physicians/ scientists hold any equity interest for the physician's/scientist's role as inventor, discoverer, developer, founder or consultant.* In publicly disclosing this information, Cleveland Clinic tries to provide information as accurately as possible about its physicians' and scientists' connections with industry.

I was blessed to have Dr Murphy as my oncologist for the past 5 years. His expertise and experience definitely impacted my cancer survivorship in a positive way. I was confident with his information and recommendations for my high quality care, and appreciated being included in the decision making process with my treatment options. He was always respectful and compassionate, and answered my many questions fully and to my understanding. My treatment plan was specific for me and my needs. He definitely made my cancer experience the best it could possibly be, for which I am very appreciative. I definitely have, and will continue, to recommend Dr Murphy and CCF to others.
