德克萨斯州的规模和独特的人口统计数据对解决该州的癌症负担提出了挑战。德克萨斯大学MD安德森癌症中心是美国国家癌症研究所指定的69个癌症中心之一。虽然这些中心传统上专注于研究，教育和培训，并提供研究驱动的患者护理，但它们在通过癌症控制合作促进人口健康方面处于独特的地位。与代表研究、教育和病人护理的三脚凳的传统学术模型不同，MD安德森的使命包括第四条腿，它结合了人口健康方法。MD安德森利用州和国家一级的数据和免费可用的资源来制定人口健康优先事项，并在政策、公共和专业教育以及基于社区的临床服务领域采取一系列循证行动，以解决这些优先事项。人口健康方法补充了传播和实施研究和治疗，并将越来越需要解决得克萨斯州和国家日益增长的癌症负担。
Texas's size and unique population demographics present challenges to addressing the state's cancer burden. The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is one of 69 National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers across the United States. While these centers traditionally have focused on research, education and training, and providing research-driven patient care, they are in a unique position to collaboratively advance population health through cancer control. Unlike the traditional academic model of a three-legged stool representing research, education, and patient care, MD Anderson's mission includes a fourth leg that incorporates population health approaches. MD Anderson has leveraged state- and national-level data and freely available resources to develop population-health priorities and a set of evidence-based actions across policy, public and professional education, and community-based clinical service domains to address these priorities. Population health approaches complement dissemination and implementation research and treatment, and will be increasingly needed to address the growing cancer burden in Texas and the nation.
