Bay Area Tumor Institute CCOP

描述（由申请人提供）：湾区肿瘤研究所社区临床肿瘤项目（BATI-CCOP）是由加利福尼亚州大奥克兰的6家社区和县医院组成的联盟。它成立于1979年，最初是CGOP， 1989年转为CCOP地位。BATI-CCOP特别强调招募三湾区县的少数民族、低收入、儿科、非英语国家和女性人群，使癌症患者和一般“高危”人群参与CALGB、SWOG、NSABP、RTOG、CTSU、COG和HLMCC的临床和癌症控制和预防研究。bti - ccop的长期目标和具体目标包括：治疗试验的累积率高于同类CCOPs，少数民族和儿科患者的累积率高于所有其他CCOPs，积极的癌症控制招募超过NCI的癌症控制研究要求，并增加与研究基地的互动。CCOP将继续在该地区所有符合条件的儿科肿瘤患者中累积95%，并将继续在少数族裔和女性参与者的招募方面表现出色，基本上使bti -CCOP能够满足所有三种类型的CCOP（成人CCOP，基于少数族裔的CCOP和儿科CCOP）的要求。CCOP也将继续超越NCI的授权，并在癌症预防和控制试验的累积方面保持湾区的领先地位。BATI-CCOP提供了一个成功的长期跟踪记录，一个有组织和忠诚的医疗社区，经验丰富的医师调查员，来自湾区肿瘤研究所的机构和财政支持，以及对非裔美国人，西班牙裔，亚裔，儿科，服务不足和女性人群的不寻常的访问。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Bay Area Tumor Institute Community Clinical Oncology Program (BATI-CCOP) is a consortium of 6 community and county hospitals in Greater Oakland, California. It was founded in 1979 as a CGOP and converted to CCOP status in 1989. With a special emphasis on the recruitment of minority, low Income, pediatric, non-English-speaking, and female populations in three Bay Area Counties, the BATI-CCOP enables cancer patients and the general "at risk" population to participate in the clinical, cancer control and prevention research of CALGB, SWOG, NSABP, RTOG, CTSU, COG, and HLMCC. The long-term objectives and specific aims of the BATI-CCOP include accrual to therapeutic trials at higher rates than comparable CCOPs, accrual of minority and pediatric patients at higher rates than all other CCOPs, aggressive cancer control recruitment that exceeds NCI's cancer control research requirements, and increased interaction with research bases. The CCOP will continue to accrue 95% of all eligible pediatric oncology patients in the region and will continue to excel n the recruitment of minority and female participants, essentially enabling the BATI-CCOP to fulfill the requirements of all three types of CCOP's (an adult CCOP, a Minority-Based CCOP, and a Pediatric CCOP). The CCOP will also continue to exceed NCI mandates and remain the Bay Area leader in accrual to cancer prevention and control trials. The BATI-CCOP offers a successful long-term track record, an organized and committed medical community, experienced physician investigators, institutional and financial support from the Bay Area Tumor Institute, and unusual access to African American, Hispanic, Asian, pediatric, underserved, and female populations. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This research seeks to improve public health by enabling physicians and cancer patients to participate in clinical trials research. The research outcomes are expected to lead to the identification and dissemination of improved methods to diagnose, treat, or prevent cancer.
