  • Title: Changing cancer outcome: the role of LSUMC Minority-Based Clinical Community Oncology Program.
    Author: Hayden J, Veith R, Thomas SM, Austin JP, Moore T.
    Journal: J La State Med Soc; 1997 Apr; 149(4):131-3. PubMed ID: 9130816.
    Abstract:
    The National Cancer Institute has recognized the need for minority participation in clinical trials as a means to enhance cancer outcomes in minority populations and to validate the outcomes of clinical research. In 1994, Louisiana State University Medical Center in New Orleans was granted an award by the National Cancer Institute to establish a Minority-Based Clinical Community Oncology Program. This article outlines the Louisiana State University's Minority Based Clinical Community Oncology Program. During the initial funding period, the Program has established a regional network of cancer physicians and healthcare professionals to provide state-of-the-art cancer treatment and prevention trials to South Louisiana for indigent and minority populations who otherwise would have little access to this care. Because of the success of the Program in patient accrual to both cancer treatment and cancer prevention and control protocol trials, Louisiana State University Medical Center has applied for a continuation of funding for the Program for the next five years.
