NORTH CENTRAL CANCER TREATMENT GROUP

中北部癌症治疗小组(NCCTG)是一个多学科的 以社区为主的临床试验组织 诊所。NCCTG隶属于NCI指定的梅奥诊所 癌症中心作为其研究基地。癌症治疗的首要目标 NCCTG的目的是改善患者的生存和生活质量 通过高质量的癌症治疗研究来治疗恶性疾病 以合理的科学假设为基础的研究。我们的组织是 致力于癌症患者的护理，并基于 高质量的癌症治疗研究可以由社区诊所进行， 社区诊所提供了最终的试验场 新的癌症治疗程序对普通人群的适用性。 我们在下一个资助期的具体目标是： (1)提供基础设施以促进高质量的翻译 与梅奥癌症实验室科学家合作进行的研究 中心和其他研究机构： (2)为癌症患者提供最高质量的肿瘤学服务 在他们的家庭社区内或附近的研究环境中进行护理； (3)促进社区诊所、研究基地、 其他合作团体和国家癌症研究所 临床癌症研究。 (4)为服务不足的人群提供获得NCCTG临床研究的机会 协议。 我们打算通过与NCCTG的密切协调来实现这些目标 梅奥诊所癌症中心将采取的研究议程 这两个不同研究的相当大的优势 方案，以实现共同的目标，在一个高效和成本- 举止得力。

The North Central Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG) is a multidisciplinary clinical trials organization which is comprised primarily of community clinics. The NCCTG is affiliated with the NCI-designated Mayo Clinic Cancer Center as its research base. The primary cancer treatment objective of the NCCTG is to improve survival and quality of life for patients with malignant disease by conducting high quality cancer treatment research studies based upon sound scientific hypotheses. Our organization is devoted to the care of cancer patients, and is based on the premises that quality cancer treatment research can be conducted by the community clinic, and that the community clinic provides the ultimate proving ground for applicability of new cancer treatment procedures to the general population. Our specific aims during the next grant period are to: (1) provide an infrastructure to facilitate high quality translational research in collaborative with laboratory scientists at the Mayo Cancer Center and other research organizations: (2) provide cancer patients access to the highest quality of oncologic care in a research setting in or near their home community; (3) facilitate communication between the community clinics, research base, other cooperative groups and the National Cancer Institute with respect to clinical cancer research. (4) provide underserved populations access to NCCTG clinical research protocols. We intend to achieve these goals through close coordination of the NCCTG research agenda with that of the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center to take advantage of the considerable strengths of these two distinct research programs in order to achieve common objective in an efficient and cost- effective manner.
