SAN JUAN MB COMMUNITY CLINICAL ONCOLOGY PROGRAM

波多黎各（PR）与其他西方社会经历过类似的事情 经济和生活方式的变化。这些都是随着变化而来的 从一个农业-农村社会到一个工业-城市社会。这些 这些变化导致了癌症发病率的显著增加 和肿瘤的频率分布。不幸的是， 这些变化带来的需求尚未得到医疗保健的满足， 岛上的运输系统。结果是存活率下降， 癌症发病率增加，与其他少数群体相似 人口在美国。NIH/NCI社区临床肿瘤学项目 提供了科普这些需求的机制。San的目标 Juan City Minority Based Community Oncology Program（SJCMBCCOP）： 加强和扩大高质量的癌症控制和治疗研究， 一个社会经济人口占主导地位的社区;提供 获得最先进的癌症控制和治疗的波多黎各 增加初级保健提供者和其他 专家参与临床试验;提供教育- 癌症控制和治疗的信息活动， 评价少数群体社区合作方案业绩的选定问题 在我们的设置。圣胡安市MBCCPP位于PR医疗中心， 中心及其参与机构将包括圣胡安市 医院，圣胡安肿瘤医院，圣胡安VA医疗中心， UPR牙科学院，PR胃肠研究所和Bayamon 地区医院。超过2,000名新的癌症患者被诊断出来， 在这些机构中治疗。一个多学科的调查小组 共有52人将积极参与组织和表演 的CCOP。这群经验丰富、敬业的调查员 加上健全的组织结构，将有助于校长 研究者完成SJCMBCCOP的目标。的 该项目隶属于东部肿瘤协作组，MD 安德森癌症中心和国家外科辅助乳腺癌和 肠道计划。这些研究基地将提供癌症控制， 预防和治疗的临床研究，适合在 社区设置。它们还将作为教育资源， 我们的调查员和工作人员SJCMBCCOP将帮助患者 美国大陆不常见恶性肿瘤临床试验的招募 如宫颈癌、胃癌和食道癌。的延续 SJCMBCCOP将允许扩展和加强方案 岛上的目标。

Puerto Rico (PR) similar to other western societies has experienced changes in the economy and lifestyles. These have came about with changes from an agricultural-rural society to an industrial-urban one. These changes have contributed to the remarkable increase in cancer incidence and frequency distribution of neoplasia. Unfortunately, the healthcare needs brought about by these changes have not been met by the healthcare delivery system of the island. The resultant is a decreased survival and increased morbidity from cancer, being similar to other minority populations in the USA. The NIH/NCI community clinical oncology program provides the mechanisms to cope with these demands. The goals of the San Juan City Minority Based Community Oncology Program (SJCMBCCOP) are: to strengthen and expand quality cancer control and treatment research in a community with a predominantly low socioeconomic population; to provide access to state-of-the-art cancer control and treatment to the Puerto Rican community; to increase the primary healthcare providers and other specialists participation in clinical trials; to provide educational- informational activities in cancer control and treatment to the community; to evaluate selected issues of minority-based CCOP performance in our setting. The San Juan City MBCCPP is located in the PR Medical Center and its participating institutions will include the San Juan City Hospital, the San Juan Oncologic Hospital, San Juan VA Medical Center, UPR School of Dentistry, PR Gastrointestinal Institute, and the Bayamon Regional Hospital. Over 2,000 new cancer patients are diagnosed and treated in those institutions. A multidisciplinary group of investigators totaling 52 will participate actively in the organization and performance of the CCOP. This group of experienced and dedicated investigators together with a sound organizational structure will assist the Principal Investigator with the accomplishment of the goals of the SJCMBCCOP. The program is affiliated with the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, MD Anderson Cancer Center and the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project. These research bases will provide cancer control, prevention and treatment clinical studies suitable for implementation in the community setting. They will also serve as educational resources for our investigators and staff. The SJCMBCCOP will contribute with patient accrual into clinical trials of less common malignancies in mainland USA such as cervix, gastric, and esophageal cancer. The continuation of the SJCMBCCOP will allow the expansion and strengthening of the programs goals in the Island.
