CANCER SCREENING AND PREVENTION PROJECT FOR HIGH RISK WOMEN

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 对于这项建议，研究人员将利用贝尔维尤医院多学科乳腺诊所的现有设施，开发一个妇女癌症高风险诊所。 他们预测，这样的诊所将为预防和早期发现癌症提供有效的资源。该研究的临床目的如下：1）成为妇女癌症的信息来源，包括为有遗传性癌症风险的妇女提供遗传咨询师，特别是卵巢癌。2)提供诊断测试和适当的诊所参与癌症的早期检测转介。 3)在适用的情况下，提供癌症早期检测和预防方面的临床试验和研究性筛查方法。 教育目标如下：1）建立一个卫生专业人员小组，评估来诊所就诊的妇女的风险，并为她们提供适当的后续护理。2)提供教育材料，描述风险降低、预防、基因检测和健康生活方式对患者的重要性。 3)寻求和制定早期发现和治疗领域的研究方案。 4)建立一个从问卷和诊所中收集的信息数据库，供未来研究使用。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. For this proposal the investigators will utilize the existing facilities in the multidisciplinary Breast Clinic of Bellevue Hospital to develop a Women's Cancer High-Risk Clinic. They predict that such a clinic will provide an efficient resource for the prevention and early detection of cancer. The clinical aims of the study are as follows: 1) To be a resource of information on women's cancer, including the availability of a genetic counselor for women at risk for hereditary cancer, especially ovarian cancer. 2) To provide referrals for diagnostic tests and appropriate clinics involved in the early detection of cancer. 3) To provide access to clinical trials and investigational screening methods in cancer early detection and prevention, whenever applicable. The educational aims are the following: 1) To create a team of health professionals to assess the risk of the women who come to the clinic and provide them with the appropriate follow-up care. 2) To provide educational materials describing risk reduction, prevention, genetic testing and the importance of healthy lifestyle to the patients. 3) To seek and develop research protocols in the areas of early detection and treatment. 4) To develop a database of information compiled from the questionnaires and clinics for use in future studies.
