Prevention and Control

癌症预防和控制计划旨在通过确定可控的风险因素、特殊的高危目标群体以及风险和肿瘤侵袭性的分子标记物来降低癌症的发病率、发病率和死亡率。利用这些知识，项目成员寻求开发和测试干预策略，并通过将这些知识转化为实践，建立新的护理标准。目前的赠款周期是该计划的巨大增长和发展时期，其成员在计划1(癌症生物学)和计划3(实体肿瘤)中帮助创造了癌症预防和控制的新优势。一个强大的每月癌症预防和控制研讨会系列加强了内部和方案间的合作，特别强调帮助初级调查人员和受训人员。我们的领导团队在我们三个重点领域的教师招聘和发展方面的投资取得了进展：(1)生存和症状管理，(2)监测和流行病学，以及(3)服务不足的人群。现在有27个成员，14个 在这个项目中，来自大学14个不同部门和研究所的正式成员和13名助理。在过去的拨款周期中，通过招募高度专注的调查人员和终止其癌症重点被认为不足的成员的成员资格，项目调查人员的癌症重点得到了加强。这个小组的成员在49个项目中拥有1,020万美元的赠款资金，其中包括NCI资助的320万美元(16个项目)。在过去的五年里，这个多产的团队发表了123篇科学文献手稿。 调查人员越来越多地进行干预研究，项目调查人员正在帮助在一些高度优先的领域建立护理标准。

The Cancer Prevention and Control Program aims to reduce cancer incidence, morbidity, and mortality by identifying controllable risk factors, special high-risk target groups, and molecular markers of risk and tumor aggressiveness. Using such knowledge, the program members seek to develop and test interventional strategies, and, by the translation of such knowledge into practice, to establish new standards of care. The current grant cycle has been a time of tremendous growth and development in this program, and its members have helped create new strengths in cancer prevention and control in Programs 1 (Cancer Biology) and 3 (Solid Tumors). A robust monthly Cancer Prevention and Control Seminar Series has enhanced collaborations internally and interprogrammatically, with a particular emphasis on aiding junior investigators and trainees. Progress has evolved from the investment of our leadership team in recruitment and development of faculty in our three focus areas: (1) survivorship and symptom management, (2) surveillance and epidemiology, and (3) underserved populations. There are now 27 members, 14 full and 13 associate, in this program from 14 different departments and institutes of the University. During the past grant cycle, the cancer focus of program investigators has been enhanced by the recruitment of highly-focused investigators and by terminating memberships of members whose cancer focus was deemed insufficient. The members of this group have $10.2 million in grant funding within 49 projects including $3.2 million in NCI funding (16 projects). This productive group has published 123 manuscripts in scientific literature in the past five years. Investigators are increasingly conducting intervention studies, and program investigators are helping establish the standard of care in a number of high priority areas.
