Cancer does not wait, and neither can innovation. Every day, across hospital wards and consultation rooms, oncologists face the sharpest edge of medicine. They make high-stakes decisions, manage rapidly changing treatment protocols, and walk alongside patients and families navigating one of life’s most daunting journeys. But here is the paradox! While oncologists carry the burden of real-world cancer care, too often, they are left out of the room where critical cancer research decisions are made.
Cancer therapies are being developed in cancer research organizations and discussed in corporate boardrooms. But often, without the insight of those who use them daily. This disconnect slows progress. It creates therapies that look promising on paper but fall short in practice. It overlooks regional gaps in access, misjudges side effect management, and misses patient realities that only frontline oncologists can articulate.
At MDForLives, we believe that has to change.
We are here to put the power back where it belongs, in the hands of practicing oncology professionals. Through our platform, we connect oncologists with ethically designed oncological research surveys that influence the future of oncology. And to recognize the value of oncologists’ contribution, we ensure they are compensated well.
The Decision to Participate in Cancer Research Starts with One Survey
The idea of taking a survey may feel like an added pressure. But, as an oncologist, if you really feel for the millions of people battling cancer, we suggest, take a couple of surveys every month – it will not hurt.
You already know that cancer is not a one-size-fits-all disease. With hundreds of subtypes, constantly shifting treatment guidelines, and highly personalized care pathways, it demands constant adaptation and deep clinical judgment. This is exactly where oncologists like you come into play.
As an oncologist, you understand:
- How new therapies perform across different patient profiles
- Which side effects derail treatment adherence
- Where the gaps in access or efficacy lie
- How patient needs differ across demographics and regions
This knowledge is powerful and can help global cancer researchers in more ways than one! But too often, it stays within the four walls of a clinic. Worry not; MDForLives is here to bridge this gap. Through our platform, you can share your insights directly with pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, and healthcare organizations.
So, your everyday clinical experience can translate into better, smarter, more equitable cancer treatments.
Can Oncologists Really Earn Up to $100 Per Survey with MDForLives?
Yes, absolutely! MDForLives compensates oncologists for participating in specialized cancer research surveys. The platform collaborates with top global pharmaceutical companies, cancer research organizations, and health innovation leaders who seek expert clinical insights from specialists like you.
What Determines Oncologist Earnings?
Survey payouts typically vary based on:
- Length of the survey (short polls vs. in-depth questionnaires)
- Complexity of the topic (e.g., general drug use vs. detailed treatment pathways)
- Specialty niche (e.g., hematologic oncology vs. solid tumors)
- Target geography or patient population
- Survey format (online, phone interviews, virtual focus groups)
Sample Earnings Overview
MDForLives understands that oncologists have limited time, and that their expertise is both rare and highly valuable. That is why the platform offers competitive compensation tailored to the complexity and duration of each survey.
Whether you are giving your opinion on a new targeted therapy, evaluating real-world treatment choices, or participating in a detailed virtual interview, your time is compensated fairly. From quick polls that take just a few minutes to more comprehensive, case-based studies or focus groups, oncologists can expect to earn anywhere from $20 to over $100 per engagement.
Here is a breakdown of common survey types, what they typically involve, and how much you can expect to earn:
MDForLives Has Paid Over $400,000 to Oncology Professionals – Already!
With over 8,000 active oncologists from across the globe participating in MDForLives’ cancer research surveys, the scale and depth of clinical insight being channeled into real-world studies are truly remarkable.
Recognizing the irreplaceable value of this expertise, MDForLives has disbursed over $400,000 in payments to oncologists who have shared their time, knowledge, and critical perspectives through structured surveys.
Each contribution, whether it is a 10-minute feedback survey or an in-depth advisory board discussion, feeds directly into the development pipelines of top pharmaceutical companies and oncology research organizations, helping shape decisions that ultimately affect millions of lives.
Hear It from the Doctors Themselves
When it comes to influencing the direction of cancer research, no voice matters more than that of the practicing oncologist. MDForLives has become a trusted space where thousands of specialists come together – not just to earn, but to contribute meaningfully to advancements in oncology.
But do not just take our word for it; hear what fellow oncologists are saying.
Dr. Rebecca Allen, a board-certified oncologist based in Chicago, Illinois (USA), recently participated in the Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) survey on MDForLives and shared her experience:
“Finally, Someone’s Listening to Real-World Oncology!”
“As someone who’s been treating cancer patients for over a decade, I often see where the gaps exist between what’s in the literature and what happens in the clinic. The TKI survey gave me the chance to voice those gaps, and I was paid $100 for under 25 minutes of my time. But what made the experience stand out was that the questions reflected the nuanced challenges we face with targeted therapies. It felt like someone was finally listening to the real-world side of oncology.”
Across the Atlantic, Dr. Julien Moreau, a medical oncologist from Lyon, France, contributed to the “Cancer Treatment Journey” survey, which focused on the patient’s path from diagnosis to treatment decision-making.
“Got $100, But the Real Reward Was Being Heard.”
“Participating in the Cancer Treatment Journey survey was a powerful experience. It encouraged us to think not just about the drugs we prescribe, but the emotional and clinical journey patients undergo from day one. It felt deeply relevant to my practice. What made it even more meaningful was seeing the results published and shared with the global medical community. That, combined with the compensation of $100, made it an intellectually and professionally rewarding experience.”
These reflections highlight the core mission of MDForLives: to elevate the voices of oncologists worldwide, ensuring their insights guide the future of cancer care.
Earn More by Sharing Your Expertise Beyond Cancer Research Surveys
