EASTERN COOPERATIVE ONCOLOGY GROUP - WISCONSIN STUDIES

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请寻求对威斯康星州大学综合癌症中心（UWCCC）东部肿瘤协作组（ECOG）及其附属机构活动的支持。 UWCCC的临床项目旨在改善癌症患者的治疗和护理，并减轻癌症问题的负担。 我们与东部肿瘤协作组（ECOG）的长期合作有利于实现这些目标。 UWCCC研究者一直致力于ECOG累积以及行政和科学领导。 UWCCC诊所是沿着疾病的具体路线组织的，努力加强当今最佳癌症护理和临床研究所需的多学科方法。 在上一个补助金周期，这一方法得到了加强，在内科肿瘤学和外科学方面进行了征聘，建立了新的诊所空间，并加强了计算机化研究数据库设施。 所有这一切都改善了我们的ECOG努力，表现为一贯的高应计和小组领导活动。 华盛顿大学的研究人员主持GU和胸科委员会，并共同主持药理学委员会。 华盛顿大学的研究人员将在ECOG中领导化学预防工作。 机构评估一直将UW ECOG计划在应计、行政和科学领导力方面排在或接近榜首。 UW ECOG附属机构继续以显著的应计和高质量的数据管理做出贡献，并在ECOG中名列前茅。 ECOG研究和癌症护理的临床试验方法对于UW和整个地区癌症项目的持续高质量至关重要。 ECOG研究是血液学、内科和放射肿瘤学学员的核心课程，也是临床策略的基础。 ECOG项目仍然是UWCCC癌症研究工作的重要组成部分，UWCCC对ECOG的贡献对本集团同样重要。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks support for the activities of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) at the University of Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Center (UWCCC) and affiliated institutions. The clinical programs of the UWCCC are designed to improve both the treatment and care of cancer patients as well as to reduce the burden of the cancer problem in general. Our long association with the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) has been beneficial in enhancing these goals. UWCCC Investigators have a history of strong commitment to ECOG accrual as well as administrative and scientific leadership. UWCCC clinics are organized along disease specific lines with efforts to enhance the multidisciplinary approaches needed for today's optimal cancer care and clinical research. During the last grant cycle this approach has been strengthened with recruitment in Medical Oncology and Surgery, new clinic space and enhancement of computerized research database facilities. All of this has improved our ECOG effort as manifested by consistent high accrual and group leadership activities. UW investigators chair the GU and Thoracic committees and co-chair the Pharmacology committee. UW investigators will lead chemoprevention efforts in ECOG. Institutional evaluations consistently rank the UW ECOG program at or near the top in categories of accrual, administrative and scientific leadership. UW ECOG affiliates continue to contribute with significant accrual and high quality data management and rank among the best in ECOG. ECOG studies and a clinical trials approach in cancer care are essential for continued high quality in the cancer programs at UW and throughout the region. ECOG studies serve as a core curriculum for trainees in Hematology and Medical and Radiation Oncology and as a basis for clinical strategies. The ECOG program remains an important component of the UWCCC cancer research effort and UWCCC contributions to ECOG remain equally important to the Group.
