SAN JUAN CITY MINORITY-BASED CCOP

癌症统计数据显示，少数民族人口的发病率更高 与美国相比，发病率、死亡率更高、生存率更低。 白人人口。造成这种差异的原因并不是立竿见影的 很明显，但建议诊断延迟，依从性差，缺乏 进入大型癌症中心和治疗不足可能是其中的一部分 他们。NCI社区临床肿瘤学项目是一个研究工具， 可以研究少数民族人口并提供最先进的治疗和 在他们各自的社区进行癌症控制研究。它将涉及一项 更广泛的社区初级卫生保健提供者和专科医生 在研究方面，从而提供教育和培训机会。这个 以少数群体为基础的CCOP将为加快 癌症预防和选定领域的新技术转让 患者收益和遵从性。P.R.的癌症人口已经表明 统计结果与美国大陆少数民族相似。它是 这个应用程序的目标是创建一个基于圣胡安市少数民族的CCOP 波多黎各医疗中心的三个机构。那些机构 它的研究人员在癌症治疗和控制方面有丰富的经验 研究，拥有患者群体基础(约新增癌症病例1600例)， 已经在一起工作了至少10年，并有意愿 共同参与这项研究项目。拟建的圣胡安市 M-CCOP将设在公关医疗中心。校长 机构将是圣胡安市医院。校长 调查员将是Luis Baez博士和联席首席调查员Dr。 弗朗西斯科·罗伯特。这三个组成的机构共享各种资源 在癌症护理方面，包括学术领域的多位癌症专家 预约和直接的病人护理职责。几乎所有的癌症护理 在肿瘤科床位和门诊诊所被制度化。的确有 在实施临床试验方面有足够的经验 这三个机构拥有共同的数据库管理。有一个 参与调查的调查人员和工作人员对 学术和研究。

Cancer Statistics has shown that minority populations have higher incidence, higher mortality and lower survival when compared with U.S. white population. The reasons for such a difference are not immediately apparent but it is suggested that delay in diagnosis, poor compliance, lack of access to large cancer centers and inadequate treatments can be some of them. The NCI Community Clinical Oncology Program is a research tool that can study minority populations and deliver state of the art treatment and cancer control research in their individual communities. It will involve a wider segment of the community primary health care providers and specialist in research thus providing educational and training opportunities. The minority-based CCOP will provide an operational base for accelerating the transfer of new technology in cancer prevention and selected areas of patient accrual and compliance. The cancer populations in P.R. has shown similar statistical findings as in U.S. mainland minority group. It is the aim of this application to create a San Juan City minority-based CCOP among three institutions in the Puerto Rico Medical Center. Those institutions and its investigators have ample experience in cancer treatment and control research, have the patient population base (approx. 1600 new cancer cases), have been working together for at least 10 years, and have the desire to participate jointly in this research project. The proposed San Juan City m-CCOP will be located in the P.R. Medical Center. The principal institution will be the San Juan City Municipal Hospital. The principal investigator will be Dr. Luis Baez and co-principal investigator, Dr. Francisco Robert. The three component institutions share various resources in cancer care including multiple cancer specialist with academic appointments and direct patient care duties. Almost all of the cancer care is institutionalized at oncology beds and outpatient clinics. There is adequate prior experience in the implementation of clinical trials among the three institutions with a common data base management. There is a strong commitment of the participating investigators and staff for academics and research.
