CORE--CSP Cancer Surveillance

CSP癌症监测核心(核心B)为这三个项目提供成果鉴定 本计划项目中的实地项目(A、B、C)。这个核心依赖于巨蟹座的基础设施 监视计划(CSP)，这是洛杉矶基于人口的SEER癌症登记 县里。其中两个项目(A和B)依赖于基于人口的快速病例查明。 (RCA)，分别用于卵巢癌和非霍奇金淋巴瘤，这是一个主要功能 这个核心。项目C需要与癌症登记处建立联系，以在 一大批教师。 我们相信，这个核心的RCA的效率超过了任何其他基于 全国癌症登记处。区域合作伙伴关系活动包括通过定期确定所有新病例。 在所有被诊断为癌症的设施中筛查病理报告。用于患者报告 符合正在进行的研究(目前每年总计约13,100份报告)的最小数据集为 由CSP现场技术人员抽象。从发病之日到发病之日的平均间隔 病理报告提交给研究人员大约需要4周时间。 该登记发现洛杉矶县(LAC)每年约有3.7万例癌症发生。 自1972年成立以来，其总档案中有100多万起事件案件。vt.给出 拉丁美洲和加勒比地区人口结构的多样性，这些数据为研究癌症模式提供了丰富的资源。

The CSP Cancer Surveillance Core (Core B) provides outcome identification for the three field projects (A, B, C) in this Program Project. This Core relies on the infrastructure of the Cancer Surveillance Program (CSP), which is the population-based SEER cancer registry for Los Angeles County. Two of the projects (A and B) depend on population-based rapid case ascertainment (RCA), for ovarian cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, respectively, which is a major function of this Core. Project C requires linkages with the cancer registry to find incident breast cancers in a large cohort of teachers. We believe the efficiency of RCA by this Core exceeds that of any other population based cancer registry nationally. RCA activities include the identification of all new cases through regular screening of pathology reports at all facilities where cancer is diagnosed. For patient reports qualifying for ongoing studies (currently totaling about 13,100 reports annually) a minimal data set is abstracted by CSP Field Technicians. The average interval from date of pathology to the date that the pathology report is delivered to the study investigator is about 4 weeks. The registry identifies about 37,000 incident cancers annually in Los Angeles County (LAC) and has over 1 million incident cases in its master file, accumulated since its inception in 1972. Given the demographic diversity of LAC, these data provide a rich resource for studying cancer patterns.
