项目摘要

Following the rapid economic development and the severe environmental deterioration during the past three decades, human cancer risk has been increasing rapidly in China. Cancer now is the number one killer in China and the costs for cancer treatment in 2006 reached more than 20% of the annual total medical costs in China, and this number is actually considered to be seriously underestimated. Facing the grave consequence of the ever increasing cancer burden in China; realizing that nationwide deterioration in environmental conditions and human health could jeopardize the economic development, the Chinese government has taken major steps to prevent and control cancer. China, however, faces many challenges in confronting and battling the war against cancer. One of the major shortcomings for cancer prevention and control in China today is the severe lack of well-trained personnel in all major areas of cancer studies. The primary goal of this application is to secure the resources necessary to build a center of excellence in research and teaching in cancer studies within the Cancer Institute, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CI-CAMS, the designated China National Cancer Center), which is mandated by the central government to be responsible for China's cancer prevention and control. The resources will be used to (1) train scientists urgently needed in the CI-CAMS to develop appropriate strategies to better understand and more effectively respond to the emerging threat from the increasing cancer burden in China; (2) build an infrastructure that will allow CI-CAMS to function as a national center for teaching and research in cancer-related studies; and (3) strengthen China's National Cancer Registration Office to function as a national center of excellence for coordinating and monitoring China's cancer registration. The training goals will be achieved through trainees, selected from faculty and existing pre/post-doctoral programs at CI-CAMS, who will receive education and mentoring at Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) through long-term/intermediate/short-term training or workshops and internet-based tutorial system. The training will emphasize principles and methods in major areas of cancer epidemiology and biostatistics. This training program will be administered by a Program Faculty with representation from both CI-CAMS and Yale University. Yale University, YSPH in particular, has a strong history of prior research and training collaborations with China. We anticipate that trainees of this program will be uniquely qualified to be future leaders in the field of cancer research in China. RELEVANCE (See instructions):

随着近三年经济的快速发展和环境的严重恶化几十年来，中国人类患癌症的风险一直在迅速增加。癌症现在是第一大杀手 2006年中国癌症治疗费用达到全年医疗总费用20%以上在中国，这个数字实际上被认为是被严重低估的。面对坟墓中国癌症负担不断增加的后果；意识到全国范围内的恶化环境条件和人类健康可能危及经济发展，中国政府已采取重大措施来预防和控制癌症。但中国也面临诸多挑战面对并对抗癌症的战争。癌症预防和治疗的主要缺点之一当今中国的控制问题是在癌症研究的所有主要领域都严重缺乏训练有素的人员。这该应用程序的主要目标是确保建立卓越中心所需的资源中国医学科学院肿瘤研究所肿瘤研究与教学（CI-CAMS，指定的中国国家癌症中心），由中央政府授权担负起中国癌症防治工作的责任。这些资源将用于 (1) 培训科学家 CI-CAMS 迫切需要制定适当的策略，以更好地理解和更有效地应对中国日益增加的癌症负担所带来的新威胁； (2) 建设基础设施将使 CI-CAMS 成为国家癌症相关研究的教学和研究中心；和（三）加强国家癌症登记办公室作为国家癌症卓越中心的职能协调和监督中国的癌症登记。培训目标将通过受训者实现，从 CI-CAMS 的教师和现有博士前/博士后项目中选拔出来，他们将接受教育和通过长期/中级/短期培训在耶鲁大学公共卫生学院 (YSPH) 进行指导或讲习班和基于互联网的辅导系统。培训将强调专业的原则和方法癌症流行病学和生物统计学领域。该培训计划将由一个计划管理来自 CI-CAMS 和耶鲁大学的教师代表。耶鲁大学，特别是 YSPH，与中国之前的研究和培训合作有着悠久的历史。我们预计本次培训班的学员项目将有资格成为中国癌症研究领域未来的领导者。相关性（参见说明）：
