Community Clinical Oncology Program: FL Pediatric CCOP

描述(由申请人提供)：佛罗里达州儿科社区临床肿瘤学项目是由六家佛罗里达州医院和一家波多黎各医院组成的联合体。它是美国运行时间最长的专门用于儿科的CCOP。CCOP自1983年以来一直得到资助，并以儿童肿瘤学小组(COG)和H.Lee Moffitt癌症中心CCOP研究基地为研究基地。在这26年的时间里，它是COG治疗和癌症控制研究中患者最大的贡献者之一。CCOP一直拥有出色的合规分数，并通过其担任研究基础方案主席或联合主席的成员为COG的管理和科学做出贡献。CCOP覆盖整个佛罗里达州，并为佛罗里达州最大的人口中心提供儿科肿瘤学护理。佛罗里达州是美国第四大州：佛罗里达州的奥兰多、坦帕市。迈尔斯和好莱坞佛罗里达州。波多黎各的CCOP医院为整个岛屿和邻近的加勒比海岛屿提供服务，是少数族裔患者参与研究的主要贡献者。佛罗里达州儿科CCOP的目标是通过参与临床试验向佛罗里达州和波多黎各的患者提供癌症治疗方面的最新进展，并根据COG方案登记大多数符合条件的患者，从而在患者的家庭社区提供高质量的治疗。Moffitt CCOP研究基地提高了癌症预防和控制研究的可用性。CCOP提供了一个独特的机会来研究地理上定义的人群，以调查风险因素、护理模式和基于人群的干预措施。佛罗里达州儿科CCOP还维护CCOP患者日志，该日志提供了确保大多数符合条件的患者按照适当的COG方案进行注册的机会。通过佛罗里达州的7个儿科CCOP参与中心，每年预计有超过194名患者登记参加COG治疗方案，38名患者登记通过癌症控制积分方案。COG和Moffitt质量控制程序统一适用于佛罗里达州儿科CCOP，确保遵守规程以及对病理、放射治疗、手术和化疗的外部审查。 相关性：CCOP是佛罗里达州和波多黎各大多数儿童癌症保健提供者和病例获得合作团体治疗和癌症控制研究的唯一机制。它提供了获取方案、研究药物、质量保证审查的机会，并提供了参与社区环境中无法获得的尖端研究的机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Florida Pediatric Community Clinical Oncology Program is a consortium of six Florida hospitals and one hospital in Puerto Rico. It is the longest functioning exclusively pediatric CCOP in the US. The CCOP has been continuously funded since 1983 and has the Children's Oncology Group (COG) and the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center CCOP Research Base as its research bases. It is among the single largest contributor of patients to treatment and cancer control studies in COG over this 26 year period. The CCOP consistently has outstanding compliance scores and contributes to the administration and science of COG through its members who chair or co-chair research base protocols. The CCOP geographically covers the entire state of Florida and provides pediatric oncology care to the largest population centers in Florida, the fourth largest state in the country: Orlando, Tampa, Ft. Myers, and Hollywood Florida. The CCOP hospital in Puerto Rico services the entire island and the neighboring Caribbean islands and is the major contributor of minority patients to studies. The goal of the Florida Pediatric CCOP is to make available the latest advances in cancer care to patients in Florida and Puerto Rico through participation in clinical trials and to register the majority of their eligible patients on COG protocols, thereby providing quality care in patients' home communities. The Moffitt CCOP Research Base enhances the availability of cancer prevention and control studies. The CCOP provides a unique opportunity to study a geographically-defined population to investigate risk factors, patterns of care, and population-based interventions. The Florida Pediatric CCOP also maintains the CCOP Patient Log which affords the opportunity to ensure the majority of eligible patients are registered on appropriate COG protocols. Over 194 patient registrations are anticipated per year on COG treatment protocols and 38 on protocols approved for cancer control credits per year through the 7 Florida Pediatric CCOP participating centers. COG and Moffitt quality- control procedures apply uniformly to the Florida Pediatric CCOP, ensuring compliance with protocols and external review of pathology, radiotherapy, surgery, and chemotherapy. RELEVANCE: The CCOP is the only mechanism for the majority of childhood cancer health care providers and cases in Florida and Puerto Rico to access cooperative group treatment and cancer control studies. It provides access to protocols, investigational drugs, quality assurance review and an opportunity to participate in cutting edge research that is not available otherwise in a community setting.
