Delaware/Christiana Care Community Clinical Oncology Program

描述(由申请者提供)：特拉华州/克里斯蒂娜关爱社区合作伙伴计划最初由NCI于1987年资助，自那时以来一直是模范参与者。目前，CALGB、NSABP、ECOG、RTOG、GOG、COG、Wake Forest、URCC和CTSU被用作研究基地。ACOS-OG试验也已进入，尽管不是通过CCOP机制。我们广阔的集水区包括整个特拉华州以及新泽西州、马里兰州东北部和宾夕法尼亚州东南部(特拉华州和切斯特县)的部分地区。特拉华州在所有癌症部位疾病发病率方面在全国排名第三，马里兰州排名第35，新泽西州排名第5，宾夕法尼亚州排名第6(2007年USCS数据)。我们的研究基础代表着200多万人的富裕基础，具有广泛的协议进入潜力。在首席调查员Stephen S.GRubbs医学博士和Kandie Dempsey，MS，RN，OCN，董事，CCOP调查员，项目协调员和数据经理的领导下，将继续参与合作组核心委员会和领导职位。我们的使命是继续为治疗和癌症控制研究提供收益。此外，CCHS致力于让人员继续在合作小组核心委员会上发挥领导作用，并担任合作小组礼宾研究主席。这笔赠款的总体影响将是确保CCOP活动的持续和刺激扩大，包括克里斯蒂娜保健保健服务及其附属机构在整个集水区的治疗和癌症控制研究。 与公众健康相关：我们的使命声明是为社区提供与癌症相关的临床试验的协调机会，以降低癌症的发病率和发病率 在提高生活质量的同时降低死亡率。参加CCOP为我们提供了为实现我们的使命而努力的机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Delaware/Christiana Care CCOP was originally funded by the NCI in 1987 and has continued to be an exemplary participant since that time. Currently, CALGB, NSABP, ECOG, RTOG, GOG, COG, Wake Forest, URCC and CTSU are utililzed as research bases. ACOS-OG trials have also been accessed although not through the CCOP mechanism. Our extensive catchment area includes all of Delaware and portions of New Jersey, northeastern Maryland and southeastern Pennsylvania (Delaware and Chester counties). Delaware ranks 3rd in the nation for all cancer site disease incidence, Maryland ranks 35th, New Jersey 5th and Pennsylvania 6th (2007 USCS Data). Our research base represents a popluation base in excess of 2 million people with extensive protocol entry potential. Under the leadership of Stephen S.Grubbs, M.D., Principal Investigator and Kandie Dempsey, MS, RN, OCN, Director, CCOP investigators, project coordinators and data managers will continue to participate in cooperative group core committees and leadership positions. Our mission is to continue accruals to both treatment and cancer control studies. In addition, CCHS is commited to having personnel continue to provide significant contributions in leadership roles on cooperative group core committes and as cooperative group protocol study chairs. The overall impact of this grant will be to ensure continuation and stimulate expansion of CCOP activities, including treatment and cancer control research, at Christiana Care Health Services and its affiliates throughout the catchment area. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Our mission statement is to provide the community with coordinated access to cancer related clinical trials in order to reduce cancer incidence, morbidity and mortality while improving quality of life. Participation in the CCOP provides us with the opportunity to work towards our mission.
