The Brooklyn Minority-Based Community Clinical Oncology*

描述（由申请人提供）：拟建的纽约州立大学下州医疗中心M-B CCOP将联合布鲁克林大学医院和国王县医院中心两家学术/教学医院的癌症预防和临床试验项目。项目活动将促进并大大加强nci在这些机构开展癌症治疗和预防项目的能力；因此，这样的项目很容易为纽约布鲁克林中心的少数族裔人口提供。该项目将以东部肿瘤合作小组为主要研究基地，并包括其他小组的持续参与，包括：放射治疗肿瘤小组、妇科肿瘤小组和美国外科肿瘤学会小组。纽约州立大学下州医疗中心M-B CCOP的建立将促进以少数族裔为主的人口参与迄今为止该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族裔患者的癌症发病率、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.
