CORE--CSP Cancer Surveillance

CSP癌症监测核心（核心B）提供了三个结果识别 本计划项目中的现场项目（A、B、C）。这个核心依赖于巨蟹座的基础设施 监测计划（CSP），这是洛杉矶基于人群的SEER癌症登记 县其中两个项目（A和B）依赖于基于人口的快速病例确定 (RCA)，分别用于卵巢癌和非霍奇金淋巴瘤，这是 这个核心。项目C要求与癌症登记处建立联系， 大批教师。 我们相信这个核心的RCA效率超过了任何其他基于人口的RCA效率。 全国癌症登记处RCA的活动包括通过定期的 在诊断出癌症的所有设施检查病理报告。对于患者报告 符合正在进行的研究（目前每年总计约13，100份报告）的最小数据集是 由CSP Field Technicians提供。从病理学检查日期到 病理学报告交付给研究者的时间约为4周。 该登记处每年在洛杉矶县（LAC）确定约37，000例癌症事件 自1972年成立以来，其主文件中积累了100多万起事件。给定 这些数据为研究癌症模式提供了丰富的资源。

The CSP Cancer Surveillance Core (Core B) provides outcome identification for the three field projects (A, B, C) in this Program Project. This Core relies on the infrastructure of the Cancer Surveillance Program (CSP), which is the population-based SEER cancer registry for Los Angeles County. Two of the projects (A and B) depend on population-based rapid case ascertainment (RCA), for ovarian cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, respectively, which is a major function of this Core. Project C requires linkages with the cancer registry to find incident breast cancers in a large cohort of teachers. We believe the efficiency of RCA by this Core exceeds that of any other population based cancer registry nationally. RCA activities include the identification of all new cases through regular screening of pathology reports at all facilities where cancer is diagnosed. For patient reports qualifying for ongoing studies (currently totaling about 13,100 reports annually) a minimal data set is abstracted by CSP Field Technicians. The average interval from date of pathology to the date that the pathology report is delivered to the study investigator is about 4 weeks. The registry identifies about 37,000 incident cancers annually in Los Angeles County (LAC) and has over 1 million incident cases in its master file, accumulated since its inception in 1972. Given the demographic diversity of LAC, these data provide a rich resource for studying cancer patterns.
