SAN JUAN MB COMMUNITY CLINICAL ONCOLOGY PROGRAM

波多黎各(PR)与其他西方社会一样，经历了 经济和生活方式的变化。这些都是随着变化而来的 从农业-农村社会向工业-城市社会转变。这些 变化是癌症发病率显著增加的原因之一 肿瘤发生的频数分布。不幸的是，医疗保健 这些变化带来的需求并没有得到医疗保健的满足 岛上的运输系统。其结果是存活率降低， 癌症发病率增加，与其他少数民族相似 美国的人口。NIH/NCI社区临床肿瘤学项目 提供了应对这些需求的机制。三人组的目标 胡安市少数民族社区肿瘤学项目(SJCMBCCOP)是： 加强和扩大高质量的癌症控制和治疗研究 以低社会经济人口为主的社区；提供 波多黎各获得最先进的癌症控制和治疗 Rican社区；增加初级医疗保健提供者和其他 专家参与临床试验；提供教育- 开展癌症控制和治疗方面的信息活动 社区；评估以少数群体为基础的CCOP业绩的选定问题 在我们的背景下。圣胡安市MBCCPP位于PR Medical 该中心及其参与机构将包括圣胡安市 医院，圣胡安肿瘤医院，圣胡安VA医疗中心， UPR牙科学院、PR胃肠研究所和巴亚蒙 地区医院。超过2,000名新癌症患者被诊断出来， 在这些机构接受治疗。由多个学科组成的调查小组 共计52人将积极参与组织和演出 CCOP的。这群经验丰富、敬业的调查人员 加上一个健全的组织结构，将帮助校长 与SJCMBCCOP目标的实现有关的调查人员。这个 该计划隶属于马里兰州东部合作肿瘤学小组 安德森癌症中心和国家手术辅助乳房和 肠道计划。这些研究基地将提供癌症控制， 适合在中国实施的预防和治疗临床研究 社区环境。它们还将作为教育资源用于 我们的调查人员和工作人员。SJCMBCCOP将为患者做出贡献 计入美国大陆较少见恶性肿瘤的临床试验 例如宫颈癌、胃癌和食道癌。的延续。 SJCMBCCOP将允许扩大和加强这些计划 岛上的目标。

Puerto Rico (PR) similar to other western societies has experienced changes in the economy and lifestyles. These have came about with changes from an agricultural-rural society to an industrial-urban one. These changes have contributed to the remarkable increase in cancer incidence and frequency distribution of neoplasia. Unfortunately, the healthcare needs brought about by these changes have not been met by the healthcare delivery system of the island. The resultant is a decreased survival and increased morbidity from cancer, being similar to other minority populations in the USA. The NIH/NCI community clinical oncology program provides the mechanisms to cope with these demands. The goals of the San Juan City Minority Based Community Oncology Program (SJCMBCCOP) are: to strengthen and expand quality cancer control and treatment research in a community with a predominantly low socioeconomic population; to provide access to state-of-the-art cancer control and treatment to the Puerto Rican community; to increase the primary healthcare providers and other specialists participation in clinical trials; to provide educational- informational activities in cancer control and treatment to the community; to evaluate selected issues of minority-based CCOP performance in our setting. The San Juan City MBCCPP is located in the PR Medical Center and its participating institutions will include the San Juan City Hospital, the San Juan Oncologic Hospital, San Juan VA Medical Center, UPR School of Dentistry, PR Gastrointestinal Institute, and the Bayamon Regional Hospital. Over 2,000 new cancer patients are diagnosed and treated in those institutions. A multidisciplinary group of investigators totaling 52 will participate actively in the organization and performance of the CCOP. This group of experienced and dedicated investigators together with a sound organizational structure will assist the Principal Investigator with the accomplishment of the goals of the SJCMBCCOP. The program is affiliated with the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, MD Anderson Cancer Center and the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project. These research bases will provide cancer control, prevention and treatment clinical studies suitable for implementation in the community setting. They will also serve as educational resources for our investigators and staff. The SJCMBCCOP will contribute with patient accrual into clinical trials of less common malignancies in mainland USA such as cervix, gastric, and esophageal cancer. The continuation of the SJCMBCCOP will allow the expansion and strengthening of the programs goals in the Island.
