The UCCRC seeks to ensure quality cancer care for our patient community. Doing so requires that we address the gap between the advances in cancer technology and the reality of patients' experiences with cancer care. To achieve the desired cancer prevention and control outcomes, our priority is to identify emerging cancer issues in Chicago's underserved communities and provide interventions that maximize the impact of our resources. According to the CDC and the Illinois Comprehensive Cancer Control State Plan, priority areas for intervention strategies include: reducing risk factors, improving the quality of life for cancer patients and survivors, increasing access to cancer services and resources, reducing tobacco use, increasing participation in cancer research, and maintaining a surveillance system. To address the national and state priorities, UCCRC's evidence-based interventions target hard-to-reach populations by raising public awareness of clinical and basic research, providing education addressing risk factors, disseminating educational materials, and cancer patient recruitment. Together the UCCRC, UCMC Office of Community Affairs, and the CIHDR have worked to build positive relationships with political leaders, churches, community organizations, and support groups, leading to increased UCCRC visibility and requests to participate in community events. Since 2003, we have set up information booths at more than 40 health fairs and major sponsored events, such as the African American Festival of the Arts, NBC5 Health & Fitness Expo, The Black Expo, and annual health events sponsored by local aldermen. In addition, UCCRC staff participate in many local and national cancer control and health care organizations, including the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Board of Directors, the Illinois Partnership for Comprehensive Cancer Control, Cook County Health Coalition, Y-Me Planning Committee, Healthcare Consortium of Illinois, and CALGB Underserved Population Committee. UCCRC programs include: ¿ Cancer Resource Center, a partnership with the ACS (described above). ¿ Smoking Cessation Program (C-STOP). ¿ The "Triumph Over Cancer" program - a monthly women's cancer support group held at the UCMC. ¿ Cancer Support Groups that meet regularly to offer support to cancer patients and their families. These include the Prostate Cancer Support Group, the Women's Cancer Support Group, the Lung Cancer Networking Lunch, Overcoming the Fear of Recurrence, the Y-Me Breast Cancer Group, the SPOHNC Head and Neck Cancer Survivors Teleconference, and other general cancer support groups. ¿ A twice/month cancer patient support group at our affiliate, Weiss Memorial Hospital. ¿ Annual National Cancer Survivors Celebration Day, held the first Sunday in June. ¿ Monthly "Look Good...Feel Better" Program sessions at UCMC, a support group to help cancer patients counteract the visible side effects of cancer therapy, in conjunction with the ACS. ¿ "Facing the Mirror with Cancer", a make-up program to teach cancer patients how to deal with visual side effects of cancer therapy, held in the UCMC outpatient facility. ¿ Community Fitness Program, a year-round program by UCMC staff who address various health topics. ¿ Break for Breakfast, a support group for parents of children with cancer. ¿ Monthly educational sessions held downtown at the Whole Foods grocery store are offered on topics such as "Alternative Eating, Fear of Recurrence, Healthy Lifestyle, Lymphedema", etc. ¿ Community workshops and forums offering cancer risk assessments, osteoporosis screenings, self breast exam demonstrations, smoking cessation classes, and nutrition information. ¿ Public education and special events include the development of several lecture series. One example is the development of a public lecture series focused on lung cancer diagnosis, patient resources, treatment, and research held in Nov 2006. A valuable outcome was the development of a lung cancer networking and support group that meets twice monthly. ¿ The CIHDR and UCCRC offer Special Programs to mitigate health disparities in cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, such as a two-hour forum "Race Matters?!!", presented at both the University and Rainbow/PUSH Coalition headquarters. ¿ Development of "Livin' in Your Body 4 Life Video"- strengths based training on wellness for 12 to 16 year old African American adolescents (in collaboration with the CIHDR). This five-part mini-series on DVD was first aired on cable TV in January 2007 and will be re-aired in the spring. ¿ The Huggins Lecture Series is an annual series of 8 lectures designed for the public, describing the frontiers of cancer research. Recent topics include "Hormones and Cancer" in 2003, "Getting under the Skin of Cancer Development" in 2004, "Everything you need to know about Prostate Cancer" in 2005, "Breast Cancer: the Genetics of a Disease" in 2006, and "Personalized Medicine for Cancer" in 2007.

UCCRC试图确保为我们的患者社区提供优质的癌症护理。这样做要求我们解决癌症技术进步与患者癌症护理经历的现实之间的差距。为了实现所需的预防癌症预防和控制成果，我们的首要任务是确定芝加哥服务不足社区中新兴的癌症问题，并提供干预措施，以最大程度地利用我们的资源影响。根据疾病预防控制中心和伊利诺伊州综合癌症控制状态计划的说法，干预策略的优先领域包括：减少危险因素，改善癌症患者和幸存者的生活质量，增加获得癌症服务和资源的获取，减少烟草使用，增加参与癌症研究以及维持监视系统。为了解决国家和州的优先事项，UCCRC的基于证据的干预措施通过提高公众对临床和基础研究的认识，以难以到达的人群为目标，从而提供有关危险因素，传播教育材料和癌症患者招聘的教育。 UCCRC，UCMC社区事务办公室和CIHDR共同致力于与政治领导人，教会，社区组织和支持小组建立积极的关系，从而提高了UCCRC的可见性，并要求参加社区活动。自2003年以来，我们已经在40多个健康博览会和大型赞助活动中设立了信息亭，例如非裔美国人艺术节，NBC5 Health＆Fitness Expo，Black Expo和当地Aldermen发起的年度健康活动。此外，UCCRC的工作人员参加了许多地方和国家癌症控制和卫生保健组织，包括苏珊·科门（Susan G. UCCRC计划包括： �癌症资源中心，与ACS的合作伙伴关系（如上所述）。 »戒烟计划（C-Stop）。 �“胜利癌症”计划 - 在UCMC举行的每月妇女癌症支持小组。 »定期开会的癌症支持小组为癌症患者及其家人提供支持。其中包括前列腺癌支持小组，女性癌症支持小组，肺癌网络午餐，克服对复发的恐惧，Y-ME乳腺癌组，SPOHNC头和颈部癌症幸存者的触发会议以及其他普通癌症支持组。 »我们的分支机构Weiss Memorial Hospital是两次/月癌症患者支持小组。 „年度国家癌症幸存者庆祝日，在6月举行的第一个星期日举行。 »在UCMC上的每月“看起来好...感觉更好”的课程，这是一个支持癌症患者与ACS结合使用的癌症疗法的可见副作用的支持小组。 »“面对癌症的镜子”，这是一项化妆计划，旨在教癌症患者如何处理UCMC门诊设施中的癌症治疗的视觉副作用。 UCMC员工致力于各种健康主题的全年课程社区健身计划。 »早餐休息，是一个癌症儿童父母的支持小组。 »在整个食品杂货店举行的市中心举行的每月教育会议都提供了“替代饮食，对复发，健康的生活方式，淋巴水肿”等主题。 �提供癌症风险评估，骨质疏松症筛查，自乳房检查示范，戒烟课程和营养信息的社区讲习班和论坛。 �公共教育和特殊活动包括开发多个讲座系列。一个例子是开发公开讲座系列，重点是2006年11月在2006年11月举行的肺癌诊断，患者资源，治疗和研究。有价值的结果是开发了肺癌网络和支持小组，该小组每月遇到两次。 »CIHDR和UCCRC提供了特殊计划，以减轻预防癌症，诊断和治疗中的健康差异，例如两个小时的论坛“种族问题？！”，该论坛在大学和彩虹/推动联盟总部提出。 �开发“在您的身体4生活视频”中开发的基于12至16岁的非裔美国青少年的健康培训（与CIHDR合作）。 DVD上的这个五部分迷你系列于2007年1月首次在有线电视上播出，并将在春季重新播出。 »Huggins讲座系列是为公众设计的8个讲座的年度系列，描述了癌症研究的前沿。最近的主题包括2003年的“激素和癌症”，“在2004年的癌症发展之下”，“您需要了解的有关前列腺癌的所有知识”，2005年“乳腺癌：疾病的遗传学”，以及2007年的“个性化医学”。
