Research IN REVIEW _ l/^~^\ GREENSBORO ■—if f AREA HEALTH l—»l V 1 EDUCATION CENTER Issue 2 February 1997 Editors' Note & Welcome to the second issue of Research IN REVIEW. The goal of this publication is to increase the visibility and recognition of research within our institution. The first issue contained material from many departments throughout the Moses Cone Health System (MCHS) and was deemed a success by all. The most interesting outcome was the number of readers surprised by just how much research actually takes place. In addition to the first issue's distribution to all departments, this bulletin was used in other ways over the past year. Prospective residents for both the Internal Medicine and Family Practice Residency Programs were given copies at Residency Fairs and during the interview season. Members of the UNCG Institute for Health, Science and Society (described in this issue) also reviewed the information to identify areas where our two campuses might collaborate. Originally we had planned on publication twice a year. However, because of the large amount of research being done at MCHS and the consideration that many projects take years to complete, we have decided to print Research IN REVIEW yearly. In exchange we will increase its size to accommodate all appropriate items received by our editorial team. «■ The editorial staff contacts departments at the end of each year for information. If your department is not currently notified please contact one of the editors to include your research in the next issue. Moses Cone faculty and staff publication references can be found in the Medical Library's yearly Off Line that is distributed in January. Editors: Charles Hansen, MA, CCRC, Internal Medicine Residency Program; Martha Delaney, MA, and Teresa Rasco, Family Practice Residency Program. REGIONAL CANCER CENTER (Abstracted from Oncology Newsletter, No. 24, 1997) Moses Cone Health System's Regional Cancer Center is actively involved in and dedicated to cancer treatment and prevention research. The center conducts both clinical trials and cancer control studies or prevention trials. We are a charter member of the Southeast Cancer Control Consortium (SCCC) which formed in 1987 when the Community Clinical Oncology Program of the National Cancer Institute awarded us a three-year grant. This grant has been renewed twice for two five-year periods in recognition of the SCCC's outstanding performance. SCCC headquarters are in Winston-Salem with membership in 16 NC communities and four other states. The Regional Cancer Center is an institutional member with more than 20 physicians, called member investigators, representing Greensboro. The SCCC allows us access to several research bases, including Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB), National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel (NSABP) and the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG). In 1995, we were also approved through Duke University Medical Center as an affiliate member of the Gynecological and Oncology Group (GOG) to enroll patients in gynecological oncology research trials. The research program has a unique structure. All protocols are received and presented for approval by the Greensboro Cancer Study Group which consists of physicians from various specialties, research nurses and oncology pharmacists. After careful review, the protocols are then forwarded to the hospital's Institutional Review Board. The first major study was the Polyp Prevention Trial to test whether a low-fat, high-fiber diet could prevent the recurrence of colorectal polyps. Enrollment began in June 1991 and ended December 1993 with 84 participants enrolled at the Regional Cancer Center. The Breast Cancer Prevention Trial (BCBT) was our next major trial. Beginning in July 1992, it continues to recruit women who are at high risk for breast cancer. Participants randomly receive either tamoxifen or placebo. Tamoxifen has been shown to reduce the reoccurrence of breast cancers in previously affected women. The study will determine if tamoxifen can also prevent initial breast cancers in high risk women. So far, 62 women have enrolled in this study at our center. The national enrollment goal of 13,000 should be reached by April 1997.
