RRSS #12 - Patterns of Care - Diagnosis Year 2008

SEER护理模式研究描述、描述并比较了美国不同地理区域的癌症实践模式和治疗方法。进行SEER护理模式研究是为了满足国会对国家癌症研究所的指示(根据1988年11月4日通过的公法100-607，第413 (a)（2)(C)节），以评估将最先进的癌症治疗纳入临床实践以及癌症患者接受此类治疗的程度，并将此类评估结果包括在两年一次的报告中。为了选择符合这一指令的癌症，癌症控制和人口科学司一直在与癌症治疗司密切合作。今年的护理模式（POC）研究将研究前列腺癌、慢性淋巴细胞白血病、非霍奇金淋巴瘤和胃肠道间质瘤的最新治疗方法。

SEER Patterns of Care Studies describe, characterize, and compare practice patterns and treatments provided for cancer in different geographic areas of the United States. SEER Patterns of Care Studies are conducted to satisfy a Congressional directive (under Public Law 100-607, Sec. 413 (a)(2)(C) adopted November 4, 1988) to the National Cancer Institute to ¿assess the incorporation of state-of-the-art cancer treatments into clinical practice and the extent to which cancer patients receive such treatments and include the results of such assessment in the biennial reports¿¿. To select the cancers to satisfy this directive, the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences has been working closely with the Division of Cancer Treatment. This year¿s Pattern¿s of Care (POC) Study will investigate state-of-the-art therapies for prostate cancer, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
