CANCER PREVENTION AND CONTROL

佛蒙特癌症中心的癌症预防和控制研究项目致力于开展研究，通过将行为和人口科学发展和应用于一级和二级预防以及患者护理，帮助减轻癌症负担。本主题所涵盖的广泛主题需要许多学科的技能和在许多层面上的支持。佛蒙特癌症中心提供了一个必要的跨学科联系的环境，并提供了启动新研究所需的关键资源。该计划的研究分为三个主要标题。1)乳腺癌二级预防和心理社会干预；2)与家族性癌症风险相关的行为、临床和人群研究；3)减少与烟草有关的癌症。近年来的研究得出了重要的结论，并设计了改变与癌症风险、预防和监测相关的行为的策略。项目成员积极参与将他们的研究成果转化为全州卫生计划和政策。该项目由科学博士布莱恩·弗林（Brian Flynn）领导。，家庭实践教授。

The Cancer Prevention and Control Research Program of the Vermont Cancer Center is dedicated to conducting research that will help reduce the burden of cancer through development and application of the behavioral and population sciences to primary and secondary prevention and to care of patients. The wide range of topics covered by this theme requires the skills of many disciplines and support at many levels. The Vermont Cancer Center provides a setting in which essential transdisciplinary linkages are made and provides crucial resources needed to initiate new lines of research. The research of the program falls under three main headings. 1) secondary prevention and psychosocial intervention for breast cancer; 2) behavioral, clinical and population- based studies related to familial cancer risk; and 3) reduction of tobacco- related cancers. Research in recent years has led to important conclusions and design of strategies to change behaviors related to cancer risk, prevention, and surveillance. Program members are actively involved in translation of their research findings into statewide health programs and policies. The program is under the leadership of Brian Flynn, Sc.D., Professor of Family Practice.
