7.项目摘要/摘要 考虑到这一点，接受过外科肿瘤学研究培训的医生数量是不够的 大多数实体瘤患者都会接受手术，作为临床治疗的一部分。改善对患者的护理 这些病人符合NCI的利益。至关重要的是，更多的外科医生参与到以患者为中心的工作中来 并对其他医生进行与外科治疗有关的肿瘤学研究方面的培训 癌症患者。这项申请的三个目标是1)增加训练有素的外科医生的数量 谁进行以患者为中心的癌症研究，2)增加其他医生的数量 与患者实体肿瘤管理相关的研究，以及3)增加少数民族和女性的数量 从事外科肿瘤学学术实践的外科医生。学员将参加以下三项研究中的一项 跟踪：转化实验室科学(TLS)、卫生服务和结果研究(HSO)和肿瘤学 临床试验(OCT)。这些课程将是结构化的，并将包括相关课程，以及适当的 导师。然而，将可以灵活地包括其他研究领域和其他研究中的培训- 相关技能，这将增加受训者的教育经验。外科住院医师至少有 两年的临床培训将被允许参加该计划，以及其他非外科的，但与肿瘤相关的培训 MD/DO实习生可以被录取，但不会超过实习生职位的25%。总共将有 任何时候都有四名实习生。学员将进入一个专门的、为期两年的培训期，其中将包括一个核心 与实体肿瘤肿瘤学相关的研究项目，外加与他们的研究轨迹相匹配的课程。 将把重点放在学习在研究职业生涯中生存所需的技能上，结合 学术临床实践。这些将包括研究伦理、拨款撰写、研究设计、数据分析、 预算、手稿写作和压力管理。通过这种方法，一群年轻、训练有素的人 将培养外科医生和相关医生，他们将拥有执行高质量、有道德、 翻译和临床研究特别集中在人类肿瘤肿瘤学上。

7. Project Summary / Abstract The number of physicians trained to perform surgical oncology research is inadequate when considering that most patients with solid tumors undergo surgery as part of their clinical management. Improving the care of these patients is in the interests of the NCI. It is critical that more surgeons are involved in patient-oriented research and that other physicians be trained in oncology research related to the surgical management of cancer patients. The three objectives of this application are 1) To increase the number of well-trained surgeons who perform patient-oriented cancer research, 2) To increase the number of other physicians performing research related to solid tumor management in patients, and 3) To increase the number of minority and female surgeons in the academic practice of surgical oncology. Trainees will be enrolled in one of three research tracks: Translational Laboratory Science (TLS), Health Services and Outcomes research (HSO), and Oncology Clinical Trials (OCT). These tracks will be structured and will include associated curriculum, and appropriate mentors. However, there will be flexibility to include training in other research areas and in other research- related skills, which will augment the trainees' educational experiences. Surgical residents with a minimum of two years of clinical training will be admitted to the program, and other non-surgical, yet oncologically related MD/DO trainees may be admitted, but will fill no more than 25% of the trainee positions. There will be a total of four trainees at any given time. Trainees will enter a dedicated, two year training period that will include a core research project related to solid tumor oncology, plus coursework selected to match their research track. Strong emphasis will be placed on learning skills required for survival in research careers combined with academic clinical practice. These will include research ethics, grant writing, research design, data analysis, budgeting, manuscript writing, and stress management. By this approach, a cohort of young, well-trained surgeons and associated physicians will be developed who will have the tools to perform high quality, ethical, translational and clinical research specifically centered on human tumor oncology.
