University of Colorado Southwest Oncology Group

描述（由申请人提供）： 科罗拉多大学癌症中心（UCCC）是落基山脉地区唯一一家由NCI指定的综合性癌症中心，该地区人口约为800万。在过去的五年中，NCI赞助的研究组合几乎翻了一番，从2100万美元增加到3970万美元，不包括核心赠款。参加临床试验的受试者人数和门诊就诊人数也增加了一倍。UCCC是科罗拉多丹佛大学和健康科学中心（UCDHSC）内的一个“矩阵”中心，目前正在向菲茨西蒙斯的新校区过渡。其主要临床护理中心包括科罗拉多大学医院（UCH）、丹佛退伍军人管理医疗中心（DVAMC）、丹佛健康医疗中心（DHMC）和丹佛儿童医院（TCH）。我们也有越来越多的卫星诊所直接由我们的教师，包括蒙特罗斯医院在蒙特罗斯，谷景医院在格伦伍德泉，和维尔谷医疗中心在爱德华兹。其他人正在开发中。我们有附属机构（CGOP），包括麦岭的路德教会医院、大章克申的圣玛丽医院、科罗拉多斯普林斯的纪念医院、柯林斯堡的普德谷医疗中心和怀俄明州夏延的联合医疗中心。我们的U10和UCOP资助的西南肿瘤学小组（SWOG）成员实现了我们癌症中心的许多目标，为科罗拉多的公民提供广泛的创新II期和III期治疗和化学预防试验。这笔赠款为在卫星诊所和附属机构进行临床试验所需的监测和监督提供部分支持。我们的教师，反过来，提供了强有力的行政和科学领导，特别是在GU和肺委员会和手术，病理学和放射治疗模式，由服务或主持SWOG委员会记录，作为PI的II/III期SWOG组试验，包括PCPT和SELECT，进行试点，为后续SWOG试验提供基础，然后累积科目。临床试验代表了癌症治疗和预防的最新技术，应该广泛提供给科罗拉多的公民。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Colorado Cancer Center (UCCC) is the only NCI-designated comprehensive Cancer Center in the Rocky Mountain region - an area with a population of approximately eight million people. Over the past five years, the NCI sponsored research portfolio has nearly doubled from $21 million to 39.7 million, excluding the Core grant. Also doubled were the number of subjects accrued to clinical trials and the number of outpatient visits. UCCC is a "matrix" center within the University of Colorado Denver and Health Sciences Center (UCDHSC) and is currently transitioning to its new campus at Fitzsimons. Its major clinical care centers include the University of Colorado Hospital (UCH), Denver Veterans Administration Medical Center (DVAMC), Denver Health Medical Center (DHMC), and The Children's Hospital Denver (TCH). We also have a growing number of satellite clinics staffed directly by our faculty including Montrose Hospital in Montrose, Valley View Hospital in Glenwood Springs, and Vail Valley Medical Center in Edwards. Others are in development. We have affiliates (CGOPs) including Lutheran Hospital in Wheat Ridge, St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction, Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs, Poudre Valley Medical Center in Fort Collins, and United Medical Center in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Our U10- and UCOP-funded membership in the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) fulfills many of the goals of our Cancer Center by providing broad access to innovative phase II and III treatment and chemoprevention trials to the citizens of Colorado. This grant provides partial support for the needed monitoring and oversight to run clinical trials at satellite clinics and affiliates. Our faculty, in turn, have provided strong administrative and scientific leadership, particularly in the GU and Lung Committees and the Surgery, Pathology and Radiation Therapy modalities as documented by serving or chairing SWOG committees, serving as PIs for phase ll/lll SWOG group trials including PCPT and SELECT, conducting pilots to provide the basis for subsequent SWOG trials, and then accruing subjects. Clinical trials represent the state-of-the-art in cancer treatment and prevention and should be broadly available and offered to the citizens of Colorado.
