DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Cancer Therapy & Research Center (CTRC) seeks renewal of its NCI designation originally awarded in 1991. The only academic Cancer Center in South Texas, the CTRC serves a large and predominantly Hispanic catchment area. The mission of the CTRC is to reduce the cancer burden in South Texas through the highest quality cancer care, ground-breaking research aimed at reducing the incidence and mortality of cancer, education of future cancer scientists and clinicians, and cancer prevention programs focused on our unique population. Dr. Ian M. Thompson, Jr., Director of the CTRC and the CTRC Senior Leaders have organized an interdisciplinary group of 78 cancer researchers (both basic and clinical) from two schools and 11 Departments within the UTHSCSA into three Programs: Cancer Development and Progression (CDP), Experimental and Developmental Therapeutics (EDT) and Cancer Prevention and Population Science (CPPS). These Programs are supported by 7 Shared Resources: Genomics, Next Generation Sequencing, Macromolecular Structure and Interactions, Mass Spectrometry, Flow Cytometry, Optical Imaging and Biostatistics. The CTRC also requests support for its Clinical Trials Office (CTO). Since 2008, improvements in the CTO have led to an increase in accruals, but importantly, an increase in interventional trials from 394 accruals in 2008 to 796 accruals in 2012. The CTRC has also made efforts to serve its catchment area illustrated by the fact that 46% of patients enrolled in interventional therapeutic clinical trials are Hispanic. Today, the UTHSCSA has $30,681,682M in annual total extramural research funding; a 74% increase from 2008. Of that $8,948,865M is from the NCI. Since 2008, 31 cancer-related clinical and research faculty have been recruited to the CTRC. All but one of the CTRC Senior Leaders are new since 2008. In 2011, UTHSCSA added 25,000 sq.ft. of CTRC-designated space in the new South Texas Research Facility, increasing CTRC-designated space to 285,193 sq.ft. The CTRC also invested in administrative infrastructure to support the CCSG and the research enterprise at the CTRC, in pilot funds for transdisciplinary research, and infrastructure to support clinical trials. The growth of the CTRC over the past 5 years is evidence of the commitment of the Center and its members to cancer research. Our members continue to make significant contributions to the cancer research field and develop novel approaches to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, all with a continual focus on the predominantly Hispanic catchment area we serve.

描述（由申请人提供）：癌症治疗与研究中心（CTRC）寻求其NCI指定最初在1991年授予续期。作为南德克萨斯州唯一的学术癌症中心，CTRC服务于一个大型且主要是西班牙裔的集水区。CTRC的使命是通过最高质量的癌症护理，旨在降低癌症发病率和死亡率的突破性研究，未来癌症科学家和临床医生的教育，以及专注于我们独特人群的癌症预防计划，减少南德克萨斯州的癌症负担。Ian M.博士小汤普森，CTRC主任和CTRC高级领导人组织了一个由来自UTHSCSA内两所学校和11个部门的78名癌症研究人员（包括基础和临床）组成的跨学科小组，分为三个项目：癌症发展和进展（CDP），实验和发展治疗学（EDT）和癌症预防和人口科学（CPPS）。这些计划由7个共享资源支持：基因组学，下一代测序，大分子结构和相互作用，质谱，流式细胞术，光学成像和生物统计学。CTRC还要求为其临床试验办公室（CTO）提供支持。自2008年以来，CTO的改进导致应计项目增加，但重要的是，干预性试验从2008年的394项应计项目增加到2012年的796项应计项目。CTRC还努力为其服务，参与介入治疗临床试验的患者中有46%是西班牙裔。 如今，UTHSCSA每年的校外研究资金总额为30，681，682百万美元;比2008年增加了74%。其中89488.65亿美元来自NCI。自2008年以来，31名与癌症相关的临床和研究人员被招募到CTRC。除一名高级领导人外，所有CTRC高级领导人都是自2008年以来新上任的。2011年，UTHSCSA增加了25，000平方英尺。在新的南德克萨斯州研究设施中的CTR指定空间，将CTR指定空间增加到285，193平方英尺CTRC还投资于行政基础设施，以支持CCSG和CTRC的研究企业，跨学科研究的试点基金，以及支持临床试验的基础设施。CTRC在过去5年的发展证明了该中心及其成员对癌症研究的承诺。我们的成员继续为癌症研究领域做出重大贡献，并开发新的方法来预防，诊断和治疗癌症，所有这些都持续关注我们所服务的主要西班牙裔集水区。
