Minority Based Community Clinical Oncology Program

描述（由申请人提供）：伊利诺伊大学医院及其组成机构，西区退伍军人管理局（WSVA）和西奈山医疗中心为非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔人组成的大量少数民族人口提供服务。这三个机构长期以来一直坚定地致力于为芝加哥市的这一群体提供服务。伊利诺伊大学（UIC）少数民族为基础的CCOP（UIMBCCOP）的这一赠款更新的目标是：1。通过与参与的初级保健医生、医院和附属诊所合作，实施招募和保留目标，继续增加少数民族参与临床癌症研究; 2.改善少数群体获得最先进的治疗和癌症预防和控制研究的机会; 3.提高认识，理解，并参与卫生保健提供者，社区领袖，和地方组织在UIMBCCOP活动; 4。继续非常成功地招募非洲裔美国人参加SELECT试验，并利用这一成功扩大我们在其他癌症控制活动中的参与。这些目标将由已建立的少数民族临床研究总部实现，该总部通过医学博士利用癌症和白血病组B（CALGB）、西南肿瘤组（SWOG）、儿童肿瘤组（COG）、妇科肿瘤组（GOG）的研究基地。安德森癌症中心和密歇根大学CCOP研究基地。UIMBCCOP总部设在伊利诺伊大学，协调所有三个组成机构的患者的参与。将进一步努力与初级保健站（西奈山初级保健网、家庭诊所、普通内科、妇女保健、芝加哥退伍军人保健系统初级保健诊所）建立更有效的联系。这将提供患者基础，以便更好地招募少数群体患者参加癌症控制和预防试验。UIMBCCOP提供了一个可识别的中心，致力于为芝加哥服务不足的社区提供卓越的癌症控制。在这次更新中，我们希望更有效地将我们的努力与少数民族社区联系起来，并为那些最需要的人改善癌症控制和预防工作。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Illinois Hospital and its component institutions, the West Side Veteran's Administration (WSVA), and the Mount Sinai Medical Center serve a large minority population composed of African-American and Hispanic individuals. There is a long history of strong commitment from all three institutions to serve this population within the city of Chicago. The objectives of this grant renewal for the University of Illinois (UIC) Minority-Based CCOP (UIMBCCOP) are: 1. To continue to increase minority participation in clinical cancer research by implementing recruitment and retention goals in collaboration with participating primary care physicians, hospitals, and affiliated clinics; 2. To improve access to state-of-the-art treatment and cancer prevention and control research for minority individuals; 3. To increase the awareness, understanding, and involvement of health care providers, community leaders, and local organizations in UIMBCCOP activities; 4. To continue the extremely successful recruitment of African-American men to the SELECT trial and use this success to extend our participation in other cancer control activities. These objectives will be met by an established minority clinical research headquarters which utilizes the research bases of Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB), Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG), Children's Oncology Group (COG), Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) through the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, and the University of Michigan CCOP Research Base. The UIMBCCOP headquarters is located at University of Illinois and coordinates participation of patients from all three component institutions. Efforts will be increased to develop more effective affiliations with primary care sites (Mount Sinai Primary Care Network, Family Practice, General Internal Medicine, Women's Health, Chicago VA Health Care System primary care clinics). This will provide the patient base to allow better recruitment of minority patients to cancer control and prevention trials. The UIMBCCOP provides an identifiable center committed to excellence in cancer control for the underserved communities of Chicago. In this renewal we hope to more effectively bridge our efforts with the minority communities and improve cancer control and prevention efforts for those who are in most need.
