CORE--EPIDEMIOLOGY RESOURCE

流行病学共享资源为年的研究人员提供咨询 支持同行评议的研究，重点放在项目上 需要访问来自癌症监测系统(CSS)的数据 华盛顿州西部。这仍然是流行病学共享的一个目标 资源，另一个目标是加强调查人员的能力 通过进一步发展处理数据的能力来利用这些数据 与css的链接，并通过增加电子邮件的细节级别 用于研究的医疗记录。CS，一个以人口为基础的 癌症登记，继续是流行病学研究的关键组成部分 在FHCRC进行的，为许多病因学研究提供了基础， 以及癌症发病率、治疗和死亡率的趋势评估。 调查人员访问CSS数据的研究需求因以下原因而发生变化 我们对癌症的分子/遗传基础的知识迅速增长， 对环境与环境相互作用重要性的新认识 因素，以及新计算和信息技术的发展 工具。越来越多的协作研究和对css的请求 计划外调查人员在流行病学中的数据访问，以及 向遗传流行病学研究迈进需要高水平的 协调和加强协商，以满足 调查人员。

The Epidemiology Shared Resource provides consultation to investigators in support of their peer-reviewed research, with an emphasis on projects requiring access to data from the Cancer Surveillance System (CSS) of Western Washington. This continues to be a goal of the Epidemiology Shared Resource, with the additional aim of enhancing investigators' ability to utilize these data by further developing the ability to conduct data linkages with CSS, and by increasing the level of detail from electronic medical records to be used for research. The CSS, a population-based cancer registry, continues to be a key component of epidemiologic research conducted at the FHCRC, providing the basis for many etiologic studies, and evaluations of trends in cancer incidence, treatment, and mortality. The research needs of investigators accessing CSS data have changed due to rapid growth in our knowledge of the molecular/genetic basis of cancer, a new understanding of the importance of interactions between environmental factors, and the development of new computing and information technology tools. The increasing number of collaborative studies and requests for CSS data access by investigators outside the Program in Epidemiology, and a move towards genetic epidemiology studies has required a high level of coordination and increasing consultation to meet the needs of investigators.
