ABSTRACT The overarching goal of the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center (UCCCC) Community Outreach and Engagement Component is to improve the prevention, detection, and treatment of cancer, as well as advance progress in cancer survivorship, particularly as relevant to disparities in our catchment area. Our catchment area is defined as 10 counties surrounding the University of Chicago, 81% of our cancer patients reside in our catchment area. The area has a sizeable population of underrepresented minorities with 53% non-Hispanic White, 17% non-Hispanic African American, 6% Asian, and 22% Hispanic. Cancer-related characteristics of our catchment area include: a) increased incidence and/or mortality of lung, breast, prostate, cervical, and colorectal cancers compared to the US; b) a larger Black/White difference in mortality from cancer compared to the US; c) higher rates of “at-risk” behaviors, including smoking and obesity; d) and lower rates of colorectal cancer screening. The UCCCC has extensive basic, clinical, translational, and population sciences research addressing these elevated cancer rates and risk factors at multiple levels, including research aimed at: a) defining the cancer problems and disparities in the catchment area, in particular through two large cohort studies; 2) understanding the cancer problems and disparities in the catchment area (e.g., through research focusing on interethnic and interracial differences in genetics, basic biology, and chemotherapy side effects); 3) intervening to improve cancer problems and disparities in the catchment area (e.g., smoking cessation and colorectal cancer screening); and 4) research beyond the catchment area, particularly in global health. We have also identified a 13-zipcode area in our catchment area, directly surrounding the UCCCC, which suffers disproportionate cancer burdens, and we are conducting additional targeted research and outreach in these communities. The UCCCC Office of Community Engagement and Cancer Disparities (OCECD) directed by Karen Kim, MD, UCCCC Associate Director for Community Engagement and Cancer Disparities, serves as a bridge between the UCCCC and community stakeholders to promote collaboration and to address cancer disparities at multiple levels. The OCECD plays a critical role in centralizing the UCCCC’s activities in outreach and engagement, and fostering the conduct of research relevant to our catchment area in each of the Research Programs. Over the next funding period, we will extend successful programs into prostate cancer, increase our focus on cancer disparities in Hispanic communities, and continue to expand access to our clinical trials through new University of Chicago Medicine (UCM) network affiliates.

抽象的 芝加哥大学医学综合癌症中心 (UCCCC) 的总体目标 社区外展和参与部分旨在改进预防、检测和治疗 癌症，以及癌症生存方面的进步，特别是与我们的不平等有关 我们的服务区定义为芝加哥大学周围的 10 个县，占 81%。 我们的癌症患者居住在我们的服务区，该地区人口数量不足。 少数族裔中，53% 为非西班牙裔白人，17% 为非西班牙裔非裔美国人，6% 为亚裔，22% 为西班牙裔。 我们学区的癌症相关特征包括：a) 肺癌发病率和/或死亡率增加， 与美国相比，乳腺癌、前列腺癌、宫颈癌和结直肠癌的黑人/白人差异更大； 与美国相比，癌症死亡率更高；c) 吸烟和肥胖等“高危”行为的发生率更高； d) 结直肠癌筛查率较低。UCCCC 具有广泛的基础、临床、转化和筛查能力。 人口科学研究在多个层面解决这些升高的癌症发病率和风险因素， 包括旨在以下目的的研究： a) 确定流域内的癌症问题和差异， 特别是通过两项大型队列研究；2）了解癌症问题和差异 流域（例如，通过关注种族间和种族间遗传学差异、基本 3) 进行干预以改善癌症问题和差异 服务范围（例如戒烟和结直肠癌筛查）；4) 超出范围的研究； 服务区，特别是在全球健康领域，我们还在服务区确定了一个 13 邮政编码区域， 直接围绕 UCCCC，该地区遭受着不成比例的癌症负担，我们正在开展 UCCCC 社区办公室在这些社区进行额外的有针对性的研究和推广。 参与度与癌症差异 (OCECD) 由 UCCCC 副主任 Karen Kim 医学博士指导 社区参与和癌症差异，充当 UCCCC 和社区之间的桥梁 经合组织在多个层面上促进合作并解决癌症差异。 在集中 UCCCC 的外展和参与活动以及促进 在下一个资助期间，我们将在每个研究计划中进行与我们的服务领域相关的研究。 将把成功的项目扩展到前列腺癌，增加我们对西班牙裔癌症差异的关注 社区，并通过新的芝加哥大学医学中心继续扩大我们的临床试验范围 (UCM) 网络附属公司。
