The long-term objectives of the Illinois Oncology Research Association Community Clinical Oncology Program (IORA CCOP), based in Peoria, Illinois, remain essentially unchanged as it continues to work within a community setting toward preventing, treating, recovering from and curing cancer. Specifically, the IORA CCOP seeks to improve outcomes for adult cancer victims in central and western Illinois; add to the knowledge base of known and new cancer treatments; educate health care professions and the public of the importance of cancer prevention, early detection, proper treatment and continuing care; provide quality care for cancer patients though their participation in clinical research trials and by sharing information with their primary care physicians. The IORA CCOP has expanded its community presence with the addition of several of the region's urologists and surgeons as CCOP members. The IORA CCOP encourages the involvement of racial minorities, women and rural patients (typically underserved) in clinical trials. The IORA CCOP and its affiliates offer access to cancer clinical trials in an 18-county catchment area (population 920,000+). This area spans nearly 12,000 square miles of mostly rural country, yet most patients are easily within a one hour drive of one of IORA CCOP's 27 affiliates in 18 communities. Although 8 of the 27 affiliates are in Peoria itself, the IORA CCOOP medical oncologists travel to 17 communities outside Peoria at least once a week; the urologists travel to 3 communities; and all are supported by the affiliate radiation facilities in the region. The IORA CCOP uses state-of-the-art research protocols from the North Central Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG), and the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP). The IORA CCOP enjoys excellent working relationships with these groups. Its centralized recordkeeping and quality control systems, its years of clinical trials experience, the expertise of its staff and the commitment of the CCOP oncology team all lend themselves to continued quality research conducted in a community setting and resulting in patient benefit and documented results.

伊利诺斯州肿瘤研究协会社区临床肿瘤项目（IORA CCOP）的长期目标基本保持不变，因为它继续在社区环境中工作，以预防、治疗、康复和治愈癌症。具体来说，IORA CCOP旨在改善伊利诺伊州中部和西部成年癌症患者的预后；增加已知和新的癌症治疗方法的知识库；教育保健专业人员和公众了解癌症预防、早期发现、适当治疗和持续护理的重要性；通过参与临床研究试验和与初级保健医生分享信息，为癌症患者提供高质量的护理。IORA泌尿外科专家委员会扩大了其社区存在，增加了几个地区的泌尿科医生和外科医生作为泌尿外科医生委员会成员。IORA CCOP鼓励少数民族、妇女和农村患者（通常服务不足）参与临床试验。IORA CCOP及其附属机构在18个县的集水区（人口超过92万）提供癌症临床试验。该地区面积近12000平方英里，大部分是农村地区，但大多数患者都很容易在一小时车程内到达IORA CCOP在18个社区的27个分支机构之一。虽然27个分支机构中有8个在皮奥里亚，但IORA cooop的医学肿瘤学家每周至少前往皮奥里亚以外的17个社区一次；泌尿科医生前往3个社区；所有这些都得到了该地区附属辐射设施的支持。IORA CCOP采用了中北部癌症治疗组（NCCTG）、东部肿瘤合作组（ECOG）和国家乳房和肠道手术辅助项目（NSABP）最先进的研究方案。IORA CCOP与这些团体保持着良好的工作关系。其集中的记录保存和质量控制系统，其多年的临床试验经验，其员工的专业知识和CCOP肿瘤团队的承诺，都使他们能够在社区环境中进行持续的高质量研究，并产生患者受益和记录结果。
