The Patterns of Care Study (PCS) in radiation oncology has the overall goal of improving the care received by cancer patients throughout the USA. To achieve this goal, national surveys will determine structure, process, and outcome of care, emphasizing practice setting, new technologies, and other factors likely to influence outcome. The proposed studies will include cancer of the breast prostate, and lung, which have the highest incidence and death rates in both men and women. This first PCS survey of lung cancer is timely, because positive clinical trials have created the foundation for improvement in treatment and outcome. Cancer of the cervix and esophagus, where radiation therapy is critical and further improvement in care is still needed, will also be studied. Additional outcome data will be collected for other existing studies. A special study will focus on patients treated with implants for prostate cancer. Another special study will focus on the care received by implants in minority-rich facilities. A continuing important collaboration between the American College of Radiology (ACR) and the American College of Surgeons (ACoS) will compare the patterns of treatment for breast cancer patients with locally advanced disease to treatment used in recently reported positive clinical trials. The ongoing close collaboration with national clinical trial groups, especially the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group, enables the PCS to measure the penetration of positive phase III clinical trials into the national practice. Similarly, collaboration with professional organizations provides a foundation for measuring the penetration of evidence-based practice standards and guidelines. An international collaboration will lead to comparison of the processes and outcomes of care for patients with cancer of the breast, cervix, esophagus, and lung between the USA and Japan. For cervix cancer comparisons will also be made with Canada. The PCS findings will direct the development of specific educational programs targeted at correcting identified deficits in care. The research time is experienced and have over twenty-five years of successful Patterns of Care Studies with stable leadership by the Principal Investigator, Director, and sponsoring organization. Ready access to patient records has resulted from the enthusiastic cooperation of the specialty of radiation oncology.

放射肿瘤学中的护理模式研究 (PCS) 具有总体 改善整个癌症患者接受的护理的目标 美国。为了实现这一目标，全国调查将确定结构， 护理的过程和结果，强调实践设置、新的 技术以及其他可能影响结果的因素。这 拟议的研究将包括乳腺癌、前列腺癌和肺癌， 其中男性和女性的发病率和死亡率最高。 首次肺癌 PCS 调查非常及时，因为阳性 临床试验为改善治疗奠定了基础 和结果。宫颈癌和食道癌，需要进行放射治疗 至关重要，仍需要进一步改善护理，也将 被研究。将为其他现有的结果收集额外的结果数据 研究。一项特别研究将重点关注接受植入物治疗的患者 用于前列腺癌。另一项特别研究将重点关注护理 通过在少数族裔丰富的设施中植入来接收。 美国学院之间持续的重要合作 放射科（ACR）和美国外科医师学会（ACoS）将进行比较 乳腺癌患者局部治疗的模式 最近报道的阳性结果中使用的晚期疾病治疗 临床试验。与国家临床的持续密切合作 试验组，特别是放射治疗肿瘤学组，能够 PCS 衡量 III 期临床试验阳性的渗透率 融入国家实践。同样，与专业人士合作 组织为衡量渗透率提供了基础 循证实践标准和指南。 国际合作将导致流程的比较 以及乳腺癌、宫颈癌患者的护理结果 美国和日本之间的食道和肺。对于宫颈癌 还将与加拿大进行比较。 PCS 的调查结果将指导特定教育的发展 旨在纠正已发现的护理缺陷的计划。这 研究时间丰富，拥有超过二十五年的研究经验 护理研究的成功模式和稳定的领导 首席研究员、主任和赞助组织。准备好 查阅患者记录是热情合作的结果 放射肿瘤学专业。
