Urologic Oncology Branch Consult Core

国家癌症研究所泌尿外科肿瘤学分部的研究人员是整个国家卫生研究院的泌尿外科医生和普通泌尿外科顾问。在这一角色中，我们看到所有儿科和成人泌尿外科问题的患者都在会诊。泌尿外科肿瘤科负责所有紧急情况和选择性的泌尿外科手术会诊，并为临床中心医院可能出现的泌尿外科紧急情况提供24小时服务。越来越多的艾滋病患者正在接受手术。泌尿外科肿瘤科还合作为其他调查单位所需的研究采购组织。泌尿外科肿瘤科参与规划和执行这些研究的程度各不相同。泌尿外科肿瘤科经常在这些研究的设计中发挥工具作用，而在其他合作中，泌尿外科服务只是提供组织。泌尿外科肿瘤科约30%的临床外科工作致力于这些咨询和合作研究。CORE支持所有在NIH临床中心就诊的患者，包括HIV+患者和受COVID影响的患者。

Investigators in the Urologic Oncology Branch of the National Cancer Institute are the urologic surgeons and general urology consultants to the entire National Institutes of Health. In this role we see patients in consultation for all pediatric and adult urologic surgical problems. The Urologic Oncology Branch answers all emergency, as well as elective urologic surgical consultations, and provides 24 hour coverage for urologic surgical emergencies that may arise in the Clinical Center Hospital. Increasing surgery in AIDS patients is being performed. The Urologic Oncology Branch also collaborates in the procurement of tissue for studies required by other investigative units. The degree of involvement of the Urologic Oncology Branch in the planning and execution of these studies is variable. The Urologic Oncology Branch often plays an instrumental role in the design of these studies while in other collaborations, the Urologic Surgical Service merely provides tissue. Approximately 30% of the clinical surgical effort of the Urologic Oncology Branch is devoted to these consultative and collaborative studies. The Core supports all patients seen at the NIH Clinical Center, including HIV+ patients and those affected with COVID.
