The Patterns of Care Study in radiation oncology has the overall goal of improving the care received by cancer patients in the United States. To achieve this goal, national surveys will determine structure, process and outcome of care, emphasizing practice setting and new technologies as they influence local control and morbidity. Key neoplasms, prostate, breast, cervix, gastrointestinal (esophagus, rectal, anus) and testis (seminoma) will be studied. The effort will be organized through four committees (GI, GU, GYN, Breast) each led by recognized experts and each broadly representative of multidisciplinary cancer care. Special attention will focus on the care of minority versus non-minority patients with cervix and prostate cancer in the national averages and in minority-rich institutions and on the penetration of recent positive clinical trials into national use treating prostate, cervix, gastrointestinal and breast cancers. A unique and particularly important collaboration between the American College of Radiology and the American College of Surgeons will examine the total care (breast conservation and mastectomy) of early breast cancer through a study collecting data through The American College of Surgeons national data base and will compare these findings to recently established multidisciplinary standards of care. This work will be closely coordinated with the national clinical trials groups to provide the earliest possible access to testing of strategies identified as needing group study. The research team is experienced with 20 years of successful Patterns of Care in Radiation Oncology studies and with stable leadership by the Principal Investigator, Director and sponsoring organization. Access to records of essentially all facilities in the United States has been previously demonstrated with the full cooperation of the national specialty. The research team has also demonstrated the ability to conduct the information dissemination and educational programs necessary to inform the national profession about findings of the study.

放射肿瘤学护理模式研究的总体目标是 改善美国癌症患者接受的护理。到 为实现这一目标，国家调查将确定结构、过程和 护理结果，强调实践设置和新技术 影响局部控制和发病率。重点肿瘤、前列腺、乳腺、 子宫颈、胃肠道（食道、直肠、肛门）和睾丸（精原细胞瘤） 将被研究。这项工作将通过四个委员会（GI、 GU、GYN、Breast）均由公认的专家领导并且广泛 多学科癌症治疗的代表。会特别注意 重点关注少数民族与非少数民族宫颈癌患者的护理 前列腺癌在全国平均水平和少数族裔富裕机构中的发病率 以及最近积极的临床试验在国家中的渗透 用于治疗前列腺癌、子宫颈癌、胃肠道癌和乳腺癌。 美国之间独特且特别重要的合作 放射学院和美国外科医生学会将检查 早期乳腺癌的全面护理（保乳和乳房切除术） 通过美国外科医生学会收集数据的一项研究 国家数据库并将这些发现与最近建立的进行比较 多学科护理标准。 这项工作将与国家临床试验密切配合 小组提供尽早进行策略测试的机会 确定为需要小组研究。研究团队经验丰富 20 年放射肿瘤学护理模式研究的成功经验 首席研究员、主任和研究员的稳定领导 赞助组织。访问几乎所有设施的记录 在美国之前已被充分证明 国家级专业合作。研究团队还 展示了进行信息传播和传播的能力 必要的教育计划，让全国专业人士了解 研究结果。
