PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY GROUP

贝勒医学院儿科参加了 在合作癌症研究小组活动中(西南癌症化疗 研究组、西南肿瘤组、儿科肿瘤组)，共25人 好几年了。每个小组的目的都是寻找更好的方法 治愈或控制儿童癌症的疗法。由于…… 这些活动，一半以上的癌症儿童都会存活下来 他们的病。在这些群体的进化发展中，越来越多 重点放在协调多学科护理和 拓展癌症生物学和病理生理学知识。基本要素 关于特定疾病实体的自然病史的信息 提供了至关重要的预后因素的重要知识 现代实验设计的要素。生物统计学的参与已经 成为现在包括EQUAL的综合计划的重要组成部分 内科肿瘤学、外科、病理学和放射治疗 纪律。该项目将继续这一非常成功的进程。

The Department of Pediatrics, Baylor College of Medicine, has participated in cooperative cancer study group activities (Southwest Cancer Chemotherapy Study Group, Southwest Oncology Group, Pediatric Oncology Group) for 25 years. The purpose of each group has been to search for better methods of treatment by which to cure or control cancer in children. As a result of these activities, more than half of the children with cancer will survive their disease. In the evolutionary development of these groups, increasing emphasis has been placed upon coordinating multidisciplinary care and on expanding knowledge of cancer biology and pathophysiology. Essential information on the natural history of specific disease entities has provided important knowledge of prognostic factors that are critical elements of modern experimental design. Biostatistical involvement has become an essential part of the integrated programs that now include equal participation by the medical oncology, surgery, pathology, and radiotherapy disciplines. This project will continue this highly successful process.
