CANCER SCREENING AND PREVENTION PROJECT FOR HIGH RISK WOMEN

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 根据这项提议，研究人员将利用贝尔维尤医院多学科乳房诊所的现有设施，开发一家妇女癌症高危诊所。他们预测，这样的诊所将为癌症的预防和早期发现提供有效的资源。这项研究的临床目标如下：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顾问，特别是卵巢癌。2)为参与癌症早期发现的诊断测试和适当的诊所提供转介。3)尽可能提供癌症早期发现和预防方面的临床试验和研究筛查方法。教育目标如下：1)建立一支卫生专业人员队伍，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)向患者提供介绍降低风险、预防、基因检测和健康生活方式重要性的教育材料。3)寻求和制定早期发现和治疗领域的研究方案。4)建立从问卷和诊所汇编的信息数据库，以供今后的研究使用。

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.
