PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY GROUP

该提案的目标是促进多学科 阿肯色州儿童医院（ACH）的儿科肿瘤学研究 儿科护理，教学和研究设施的大学 阿肯色州医学科学校园（UAMSC），并使参与 儿科肿瘤组（POG）研究。 具体目标是： 第一章 促进医生之间的知识交流， ACH多学科领域的科学家， 其他儿科肿瘤学小组（POG）的专业人员 机构职能体系 （二） 为了促进ACH专业人员参与所有阶段， POG研究，包括设计、患者招募、数据收集， 数据解释和科学演示。 第三章 为了提高我们作为自体骨髓移植的能力， POG研究中心。 四、 提高我们作为参考实验室的能力， 髓系白血病多药耐药的研究 白血病 第五章） 增加我们对神经肿瘤学的贡献。 ACH是该州唯一的儿科医院，也是该州最大的儿科医院之一。 西南地区 这个大型设施拥有大型多学科 教师使卓越的护理和儿童恶性肿瘤的研究。 这一建议是为了促进与其他POG调查人员的互动 并允许参与POG研究活动。 在ACH， 3个快速发展的研究和专业知识领域：1 -消融 儿童恶性2 -髓系细胞肿瘤的骨髓拯救治疗 生物学，3 -神经肿瘤细胞生物学研究。这项建议会 促进科学数据和专门知识的交流， 在POG中建立适当的委员会和协议。

The goal of this proposal is to facilitate multidisciplinary research in pediatric oncology at Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) the pediatric care, teaching and research facility of the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences Campus (UAMSC) and enable participation in Pediatric Oncology Group (POG) research. The specific aims are: 1) To facilitate intellectual exchange between physicians and scientists in multidisciplinary fields at ACH with similar professionals from other Pediatric Oncology Group (POG) institutions. 2) To facilitate participation by ACH professionals in all phases of POG research including design, patient accrual, data collections, data interpretation and scientific presentations. 3) To increase our capabilities as an Autologous Bone Marrow Transplant Center for POG studies. 4) To increase our capabilities to serve as a reference laboratory in the investigations of multiple drug resistance in myelogenous leukemia. 5) To increase our contributions to the neuro-oncology. ACH is the only pediatric hospital in the state and one of the largest in the southwest. This large facility with a large multidisciplinary faculty enable excellence in care and research in childhood malignancies. This proposal is to facilitate interaction with other POG investigators and to permit participation in POG research activities. At ACH there are 3 areas of rapidly developing research and expertise: 1 - Ablative therapy with marrow rescue in childhood malignancies 2 -Myeloid cell biology, 3 - Neuro-oncology cell biology research. This proposal will facilitate the exchange of scientific data and expertise from these developing areas with appropriate committees and protocols in POG.
