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由非裔美国人和西班牙裔个人组成的大量少数民族人口提供服务。这三家机构在为芝加哥市的人口服务方面有着悠久的历史。伊利诺伊大学（UIC）以少数族裔为基础的CCOP （UIMBCCOP）的这项赠款更新的目标是：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. 改善少数民族个人获得最先进治疗和癌症预防和控制研究的机会；3. 提高卫生保健提供者、社区领导人和地方组织对联合国艾滋病规划署活动的认识、理解和参与；4. 继续非常成功地招募非裔美国男性参加SELECT试验并利用这一成功扩大我们对其他癌症控制活动的参与。这些目标将通过一个已建立的少数民族临床研究总部来实现，该总部利用癌症和白血病B组（CALGB）、西南肿瘤组（SWOG）、儿童肿瘤组（COG）、妇科肿瘤组（GOG）的研究基地，通过M.D.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，负责协调所有三个组成机构的患者参与。将加大努力，与初级保健站点（西奈山初级保健网络、家庭诊所、普通内科、妇女健康、芝加哥退伍军人医疗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民族患者进行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，我们希望更有效地与少数民族社区建立联系，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.
