NCI PATTERNS OF CARE STUDY: DIAGNOSIS YEAR (2020 BREAST CANCER AND COLORECTAL CANCER)

NCI护理模式研究（POC）描述、描述并比较了美国不同地理区域的癌症实践模式和治疗方法。POC的实施是为了满足国会对国家癌症研究所（NCI）的指示(根据1988年11月4日通过的公法100-607，第413 (a) （2) (C)节），以“评估将最先进的癌症治疗纳入临床实践以及癌症患者接受此类治疗的程度，并将此类评估结果包括在两年一次的报告中……”。为了满足这一指示，更新和提高POC研究的效用，成立了一个工作组，由NCI癌症控制、人口科学和癌症治疗与诊断部门的代表以及美国癌症协会的代表组成，以审查癌症治疗传播方面的知识差距，并制定优先研究领域。今年的护理模式研究将调查诊断为乳腺癌或结直肠癌患者的最先进的治疗方法。

NCI Patterns of Care Studies (POC) describe, characterize, and compare practice patterns and treatments provided for cancer in different geographic areas of the United States. POC are conducted to satisfy a Congressional directive (under Public Law 100-607, Sec. 413 (a) (2) (C) adopted November 4, 1988) to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to “assess the incorporation of state-of-the-art cancer treatments into clinical practice and the extent to which cancer patients receive such treatments and include the results of such assessment in the biennial reports…”. To satisfy the directive and to update and enhance the utility of the POC Studies, a working group including representatives from the NCI’s Divisions of Cancer Control and Population Sciences and Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis and a representative from the American Cancer Society was developed to review knowledge gaps cancer therapy dissemination and to develop priority areas for study. This year’s Patterns of Care Study shall investigate state-of-the-art therapies for patients diagnosed with breast or colorectal cancer.
