CORE--EPIDEMIOLOGY RESOURCE

流行病学共享资源为研究者提供咨询， 支持他们的同行评审研究，重点是项目 需要访问癌症监测系统（CSS）的数据， 西华盛顿。这仍然是流行病学共享的目标 资源，另一个目的是提高调查人员的能力， 利用这些数据，进一步发展数据处理能力， 与CSS的联系，并通过增加电子 医疗记录用于研究。CSS，一个基于人口的 癌症登记，仍然是流行病学研究的关键组成部分 在FHCRC进行，为许多病因学研究提供了基础， 以及对癌症发病率、治疗和死亡率趋势的评估。 访问CSS数据的研究者的研究需求发生了变化， 我们对癌症的分子/遗传基础的知识的快速增长， 对环境之间相互作用重要性的新认识 新的计算和信息技术的发展 工具.越来越多的合作研究和对CSS的要求 流行病学计划之外的调查人员的数据访问，以及 遗传流行病学研究需要高水平的 加强协调和协商，以满足 investigators.

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.
