PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY GROUP

贝勒医学院儿科参加了 在合作癌症研究小组活动中(西南癌症化疗 研究组、西南肿瘤组、儿科肿瘤组)，共26个 好几年了。这个小组的基本目的一直是寻找更好的 治愈或控制儿童癌症的治疗方法。作为一名 通过这些活动，50%以上的癌症儿童可以 现在有望在疾病中幸存下来。在进化发展中 在这些小组中，越来越重视协调 多学科护理与拓展癌症基础知识 生物学和病理生理学。关于自然历史的基本信息 为预测疾病的预后提供了重要的知识 这些因素是现代实验设计的关键要素。 生物统计参与已成为综合研究的重要组成部分。 现在包括由内科肿瘤科平等参与的计划， 外科、病理学和放射治疗学科。这个项目将 继续这一非常成功的进程。

The Department of Pediatrics, Baylor College of Medicine, has participated in cooperative cancer study group activities (Southwest Cancer Chemotherapy Study Group, Southwest Oncology Group, Pediatric Oncology Group) for 26 years. The basic purpose of the group has been to search for better methods of treatment by which to cure or control cancer in children. As a result of these activities, more than 50% of the children with cancer can now be expected to survive their disease. In the evolutionary development of these groups, increasing emphasis has been placed upon coordinating multidisciplinary care and on expanding fundamental knowledge of cancer biology and pathophysiology. Essential information on the natural history of specific disease entities has provided important knowledge of prognostic factors that are critical elements of modern experimental design. Biostatistical involvement has become as essential part of the integrated programs that now include equal participation by the medical oncology, surgery, pathology, and radiotherapy disciplines. This project will continue this highly successful process.
