COOPERATIVE BREAST CANCER REGISTRY

合作乳腺癌登记中心将为调查人员提供 用于他们调查的档案病理材料 预测因素和诊断标记物。之前的工作是 因案件材料资源有限和/或措施不足而受阻 关于结果的。通过组合几个大型资源实现的协作注册表 按照共同的协议将材料整合为一个实体，应起到 来推进这项重要的工作。此应用程序是来自 Kaiser Permanente，西北地区(KPNW)，在 俄勒冈州波特兰大都会地区自二战以来一直存在 KPNW为越来越多的老年人提供了全面的医疗服务 从那时起就有人口了。所有成员都有一个单一的健康记录 所有的医疗信息都是常规输入的。所有计算机系统 在KPNW以电子方式相互链接。此外，每个人的所有遭遇 成员通过唯一的健康记录号联系在一起，该系统 促进收集有关健康计划的全面信息 会员。KPNW病理学系有3800多个 1975年以来诊断为浸润性乳腺癌的标本。除 实际病理标本，KPNW拥有准确的结果数据 其各自的肿瘤登记处和全面的医疗保健信息 病人的健康记录。病理与临床相结合 资源，加上对研究的承诺和经验，使KPNW 对于合作乳腺癌注册中心来说是一个极好的资源。

The Cooperative Breast Cancer Registry will provide investigators with archival pathological material to use in their investigations of predictive factors and diagnostic markers. Previous work has been hampered by limited resources of case material and/or inadequate measures of outcome. A Cooperative Registry, by combining several large sources of material into a single entity following a common protocol, should serve to advance this important work. This application is a response from Kaiser Permanente, Northwest Region (KPNW), a pre-paid health plan in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area in continuous existence since World War II. KPNW has provided comprehensive medical care to an increasing population since that time. All members have a single Health Record into which all medical information is routinely entered. All computer systems at KPNW are interlinked electronically. Further, all encounters of each member are linked by the unique Health Record number, a system that facilitates collection of comprehensive information about Health Plan members. The KPNW Department of Pathology has available more than 3800 invasive breast cancer specimens diagnosed since 1975. In addition to the actual pathological specimens, KPNW possesses accurate outcome data from its own Tumor Registry and comprehensive medical care information in each patient's Health Record. The combination of pathological and clinical resources, coupled with commitment to and experience in research make KPNW an excellent resource for the Cooperative Breast Cancer Registry.
