The Brooklyn Minority-Based Community Clinical Oncology Program

描述（由申请人提供）：纽约州立大学Downstate M-B CCOP目前为在其两个组成医院布鲁克林大学医院和金斯县医院中心进行癌症控制，预防和治疗试验提供行政基础设施。SUNY Downstate M-B CCOP于2007年10月1日开始运行，自那时起，M-B CCOP极大地加强了我们的组成医院进行NCI申办的临床试验的能力。我们首次通过ECOG将内科肿瘤患者纳入治疗研究。M-B CCOP还成为FCRB和MD安德森癌症控制研究基地的成员，并成功地将患者纳入戒烟和其他试验。M-B CCOP与纽约州立大学公共卫生学院密切合作，并进行了多次会议，调查，访谈，以帮助确定少数民族和服务不足的患者群体参加临床试验的障碍。自成立以来，SUNY M-B CCOP一直在努力在其两个组成医院创造临床试验文化。目前的更新提案旨在继续M-B CCOP的努力，将最先进的临床试验带到布鲁克林。为此，M-B CCOP将继续与其两个组成医院合作，并建议将其行政基础设施扩大到两个附属医院Maimonides和Brookdale。 相关性：SUNY Downstate M-B CCOP对少数族裔和服务不足的癌症患者的生活有直接影响。它为布鲁克林带来了最先进的癌症控制，预防和癌症治疗试验。将患者纳入临床试验是唯一的科学方法，可以促进我们了解什么对癌症患者有效，什么对癌症患者无效

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The SUNY Downstate M-B CCOP currently provides the administrative infrastructure for the conduct of cancer control, prevention and treatment trials at its two component hospitals University Hospital of Brooklyn and Kings County Hospital Center. Operation of the SUNY Downstate M-B CCOP commenced 10/1/07, since then the M-B CCOP has dramatically strengthened the ability of our component hospitals to conduct NCI-sponsored clinical trials. For the first time we have enrolled medical oncology patients into treatment studies via ECOG. The M-B CCOP has also become a member of the FCRB and MD Anderson cancer control research bases and has successfully accrued patients to smoking cessation and other trials. The M-B CCOP works very closely with SUNY's School of Public Health and has conducted numerous meetings, surveys, interviews to help ascertain the barriers to enrollment of minority and underserved patient populations to clinical trials. Since its inception the SUNY M-B CCOP has worked assiduously to create a culture of clinical trials at its two component hospitals. The current renewal proposal is aimed at continuing the efforts of the M-B CCOP to bring state-of-the-art clinical trials to Brooklyn. To this end the M-B CCOP will continue its work with its two component hospitals and proposes to extend its administrative infrastructure to two affiliate hospitals Maimonides and Brookdale. RELEVANCE: The SUNY Downstate M-B CCOP has direct impact on the lives of minority and underserved patients who have cancer. It brings state-of-the-art cancer control, prevention and cancer treatment trials to Brooklyn. Enrollment of patients into clinical trials is the only scientific method to advance our understanding of what works and what doesn't work to aide individuals with cancers
