The Brooklyn Minority-Based Community Clinical Oncology Program

描述(由申请人提供)：纽约州立大学下州M-B CCOP目前为其两家附属医院布鲁克林大学医院和金斯县医院中心的癌症控制、预防和治疗试验提供行政基础设施。纽约州立大学北部的M-B CCOP于2007年10月1日开始运营，从那时起，M-B CCOP极大地增强了我们的组成部分医院进行NCI赞助的临床试验的能力。我们首次通过ECOG将肿瘤内科患者纳入治疗研究。M-B CCOP还成为FCRB和MD Anderson癌症控制研究基地的成员，并成功地将患者召集到戒烟和其他试验中。M-B CCOP与纽约州立大学公共卫生学院密切合作，并进行了多次会议、调查和访谈，以帮助确定少数族裔和服务不足的患者群体参加临床试验的障碍。自成立以来，纽约州立大学M-B CCOP一直辛勤工作，在其两个组成部分的医院创建临床试验文化。目前的续签提案旨在继续M-B CCOP的努力，将最先进的临床试验带到布鲁克林。为此，M-B CCOP将继续与其两个组成部分的医院合作，并提议将其行政基础设施扩大到迈蒙尼德和布鲁克代尔两家附属医院。 相关性：纽约州立大学北部M-B CCOP对少数族裔和未得到充分服务的癌症患者的生活有直接影响。它将最先进的癌症控制、预防和癌症治疗试验带到了布鲁克林。让患者参加临床试验是促进我们理解什么对癌症患者有效，什么对癌症患者无效的唯一科学方法

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The SUNY Downstate M-B CCOP currently provides the administrative infrastructure for the conduct of cancer control, prevention and treatment trials at its two component hospitals University Hospital of Brooklyn and Kings County Hospital Center. Operation of the SUNY Downstate M-B CCOP commenced 10/1/07, since then the M-B CCOP has dramatically strengthened the ability of our component hospitals to conduct NCI-sponsored clinical trials. For the first time we have enrolled medical oncology patients into treatment studies via ECOG. The M-B CCOP has also become a member of the FCRB and MD Anderson cancer control research bases and has successfully accrued patients to smoking cessation and other trials. The M-B CCOP works very closely with SUNY's School of Public Health and has conducted numerous meetings, surveys, interviews to help ascertain the barriers to enrollment of minority and underserved patient populations to clinical trials. Since its inception the SUNY M-B CCOP has worked assiduously to create a culture of clinical trials at its two component hospitals. The current renewal proposal is aimed at continuing the efforts of the M-B CCOP to bring state-of-the-art clinical trials to Brooklyn. To this end the M-B CCOP will continue its work with its two component hospitals and proposes to extend its administrative infrastructure to two affiliate hospitals Maimonides and Brookdale. RELEVANCE: The SUNY Downstate M-B CCOP has direct impact on the lives of minority and underserved patients who have cancer. It brings state-of-the-art cancer control, prevention and cancer treatment trials to Brooklyn. Enrollment of patients into clinical trials is the only scientific method to advance our understanding of what works and what doesn't work to aide individuals with cancers
