MSKCC's clinical research programs are synonymous with those of the Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB). Physician-scientists at MSKCC hold leadership positions in the CALGB across an array of disease-specific areas and treatment modalities, with significant administrative responsibilities for the group. Scientific and clinical research programs at MSKCC are created with the intention of ultimately testing them, when possible, in the larger patient populations offered by our participation in the CALGB. During the next six years, MSKCC will continue to expand its clinical and research facilities as well as its research and training programs. The enclosed grant offers examples of MSKCC contributions to the success of the CALGB and support for MSKCC's continued participation.
