背景资料。“向前走”计划是拉皮德市地区医院、威斯康星大学、梅奥诊所以及与南达科他州西部3号保留地的美国印第安人社区和I城市人口的合作项目。其目的是作为癌症差异研究伙伴计划的一部分，增加健康差异人群对国家癌症研究所临床试验的参与。临床实践表明，美洲原住民癌症患者具有更晚期的癌症，因此治愈率较低，与治疗相关的发病率较高。据推测，持续6至8周的传统癌症疗程可能是一个障碍。方法：研究方法。创新的临床试验已经被开发出来，以缩短疗程。对治疗副作用的分子易感性也进行了探讨。这些临床工作将与患者导航仪研究计划一起进行。结果与结论。研究指标包括过程分析、临床试验参与、治疗结果和在疾病早期获得癌症护理的评估。
Background. The "Walking Forward" program is a scientific collaborative program between Rapid City Regional Hospital, the University of Wisconsin, the Mayo Clinic, and partnerships with the American Indian community in western South Dakota-3 reservations and I urban population. The purpose is to increase participation of health disparities populations on National Cancer Institute clinical trials as part of the Cancer Disparities Research Partnership program. Clinical practice suggests that Native American cancer patients present with more advanced stages of cancer and hence have lower cure rates and higher treatment-related morbidities. It is hypothesized that a conventional course of cancer treatment lasting 6 to 8 weeks may be a barrier. Methods. Innovative clinical trials have been developed to shorten the course of treatment. A molecular predisposition to treatment side effects is also explored. These clinical endeavors will be performed in conjunction with a patient navigator research program. Results and Conclusions. Research metrics include analysis of process, clinical trials participation, treatment outcome, and assessment of access to cancer care at an early stage of disease.
