SUNY Downstate Medical Center Minority-Based Community Clinical Oncology Program

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的SUNY Downstate Medical Center M-B CCOP将联合两个学术/教学医院（布鲁克林大学医院和金斯县医院中心）的癌症预防和临床试验项目。项目活动将促进并大大加强在这些机构开展NCI赞助的癌症治疗和预防计划的能力;因此，使这些计划随时可供纽约布鲁克林中心的主要少数民族人口使用。该项目将利用东部肿瘤协作组作为其主要研究基地，并继续参与其他小组，包括：放射治疗肿瘤组，妇科肿瘤组和美国外科肿瘤学家学会组。纽约州立大学下州医学中心M-B CCOP的建立将促进以少数民族为主的人口参与迄今为止这个社区无法获得的最先进的癌症治疗和预防试验。其基本目标是有效地降低布鲁克林少数民族患者的癌症发病率，发病率和死亡率。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed SUNY Downstate Medical Center M-B CCOP will unite the cancer prevention and clinical trials programs at two academic/ teaching hospitals, the University Hospital of Brooklyn and Kings County Hospital Center. Project activities will facilitate and dramatically strengthen the ability to conduct NCI-sponsored cancer treatment and prevention programs at these institutions; thus, making such programs readily available to the predominantly minority population of central Brooklyn, NY. The Project will utilize the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group as its major research base, and involve continuing participation in other groups including: Radiation Therapy Oncology Group, Gynecologic Oncology Group, and American College of Surgical Oncologists Group. Establishment of the SUNY Downstate Medical Center M-B CCOP will foster the participation of a predominantly minority population in state-of-the-art cancer treatment and prevention trials hitherto unavailable to this community. Its essential goal is to efficiently and effectively decrease cancer incidence, morbidity, and mortality among minority patients in Brooklyn.
