The long-term objectives of the Illinois Oncology Research Association Community Clinical Oncology Program (IORA CCOP), based in Peoria, IL, remain essentially unchanged as it continues to work within a community setting toward preventing, treating, recovering from and curing cancer. Specifically, the IORA (:COP seeks to expand cancer clinical research in the communities of central and western Illinois; stimulate quality care throughout the community through participation in clinical research trials; promote the continued growth of a scientifically viable community cancer network to work with NCI-sponsored cooperative group trials; promote cancer prevention, control, and treatment by educating health care professionals and the public on the importance of cancer prevention, early detection, proper treatment and continuing careand by involving primary care physicians and other specialists in cancer prevention trials; add to the knowledge base of known and new cancer treatments; and encourage the involvement of racial minorities, women and rural patients (i.e. underserved populations) in clinical trials. The IORA CCOP and its affiliates offer access to cancer clinical trials in an 18-county catchment area. 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 26 affiliates in 16 communities. Although 5 of the affiliates are in Peoria itself, the IORA CCOP medical oncologists travel to 16 communities outside Peoria weekly' and all communities are supported by the affiliated 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), Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB), National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP), and MD Anderson CancerCenter (MDACC). The IOEA CCOP enjoys excellent working relationships with these groups. Its centralized record keeping 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.

总部设在伊利诺伊州皮奥里亚的伊利诺伊州肿瘤研究协会社区临床肿瘤学计划(IORA CCOP)的长期目标基本保持不变，因为它继续在社区环境中努力预防、治疗、康复和治愈癌症。具体来说，IORA(：COP旨在扩大伊利诺伊州中部和西部社区的癌症临床研究；通过参与临床研究试验，刺激整个社区的高质量护理；促进科学上可行的社区癌症网络的持续发展，与NCI赞助的合作团体试验合作；通过教育卫生保健专业人员和公众癌症预防、早期发现、适当治疗和持续护理的重要性，以及让初级保健医生和其他专家参与癌症预防试验，促进癌症预防、控制和治疗； 增加已知和新的癌症治疗方法的知识库；鼓励少数族裔、妇女和农村患者(即未得到充分服务的人群)参与临床试验。 IORA CCOP及其附属机构提供在18个县的集水区进行癌症临床试验的机会。这一地区占地近12,000平方英里，大部分是农村地区，但大多数患者很容易在一个小时的车程内到达IORA CCOP在16个社区的26个附属机构之一。虽然有5个附属机构在皮奥里亚本身，但IORA CCOP医学肿瘤学家每周都会前往皮奥里亚以外的16个社区，所有社区都得到该地区附属辐射设施的支持。 IORA CCOP使用了来自北部中央癌症治疗组(NCCTG)、东部合作肿瘤组(ECOG)、癌症和白血病B组(CALGB)、国家外科辅助乳肠项目(NSABP)和MD Anderson癌症中心(MDACC)的最先进的研究方案。IOEA CCOP与这些组织有着良好的工作关系。其集中的记录保存和质量控制系统、多年的临床试验经验、其员工的专业知识以及CCOP肿瘤学团队的承诺，都有助于在社区环境下进行持续的高质量研究，并产生患者利益和书面结果。
