CANCER CENTER SUPPORT GRANT

马约诊所癌症中心的使命是促进和促进关于癌症发病率、病因学和进展的基础和临床研究，然后通过教育和直接应用这些研究结果，将发现转化为癌症预防、检测、诊断、预后和治疗的改进方法。 最终目标是减轻癌症患者的疾病负担。因此，马约诊所癌症中心的研究是广泛和跨学科的，但高度集中在癌症。 专业和非专业教育活动是优秀和广泛的，病人的临床和心理社会护理是最高质量和人性化的。 这些综合特征构成了我们请求CCSG支持的基础，并被美国国家癌症研究所指定为综合癌症中心。科学目标将通过MCCC的七个既定计划实现。 这些计划被分配到三个组合，每个组合由一名副主任管理，即：基础科学（免疫学，发育治疗学和癌症遗传学计划）;临床和转化研究组合（临床和转化研究，前列腺癌和成像计划）;和人口科学组合，其中有一个遗传流行病学，预防和控制计划。有一个单一的乳腺癌细胞生物学发展计划。 这些计划的研究将由九个共享资源促进，包括统计和支持服务，药学，组织采集，药理学，基因发现，细胞遗传学，分子生物学，蛋白质化学，流式细胞术和光学形态学）。 一个广泛的非CCSG资助的教育计划圆了CCSG的要求。

The mission of the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center is to promote and facilitate basic and clinical research on the incidence, etiology, and progression of cancer, and then through education and direct application of the results of such research, translate the discoveries into improved methods for cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, prognosis and therapy. The ultimate goal is to relieve the burdens of illness in patients with cancer. Accordingly, Mayo Clinic Cancer Center research is broad and interdisciplinary, but highly cancer focused. Professional and lay education activities are excellent and expansive, and clinical and psychosocial care of patients are of the highest quality and humanistic. These aggregate characteristics form the basis for our request for CCSG support and to be designated by the National Cancer Institute as a Comprehensive Cancer Center. The scientific objectives will be achieved by seven established programs of the MCCC. These programs are assigned to three portfolios each managed by an Associate Director, namely: Basic Science (Immunology, Developmental Therapeutics and Cancer Genetics Program); Clinical and Translational Research Portfolio (Clinical and Translational Research, Prostate Cancer, and Imaging Programs); and a Population Sciences Portfolio with a single Program in Genetic Epidemiology, Prevention and Control. There is a single Developing Program for Breast Cancer Cell Biology. Research in these programs will be facilitated by nine shared resources for Statistics and Support Services, Pharmacy, Tissue Acquisition, Pharmacology, Gene Discovery, Cytogenetics, Molecular Biology, Protein Chemistry, and Flow Cytometry and Optical Morphology). An extensive non-CCSG funded Education Program rounds out the CCSG request.
