Abstract The National Capital Area (NCA) Minority/Underserved NCORP will be based at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC), comprising Medstar Georgetown University Hospital (MGUH) and MedStar Washington Hospital Center (MWHC) as the primary affiliate, with a catchment area comprising 48.3% non-Latino Blacks (NLB) and 10.6% Hispanics/Latinos (H/L) that includes Washington, D.C. and adjacent counties in Maryland and Virginia. MWHC serves predominantly, i.e., > 85% minority and underserved populations; and treats more than 2,000 predominantly minority cancer patients and 48,000 outpatients, annually. The cancer burden and disparities are greatest among NLB population in the catchment area as evident by some of the highest mortality rates in the nation for breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers. Among the H/L population, cancer is the leading cause of death with H/L patients typically presenting at a later stage compared to Non-Latino White (NLW) patients. High rates of preventable cancer risk factors such as obesity, physical inactivity, and smoking, coupled with much lower screening rates for certain cancers, such as colorectal and cervical cancers in minorities contribute to the cancer disparities seen in the catchment area. The NCA NCORP proposes to address one of the most significant factors associated with these cancer disparities - limited access to optimal and cutting edge prevention, cancer control, and cancer care delivery by increasing awareness and providing access to cancer clinical trials among NLB and H/L in the catchment area. LCCC’s Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities Research (OMH), represents the community outreach arm that is led by Dr. Adams-Campbell, that has established viable academic-community partnerships that enable the NCA NCORP to conduct clinical research in areas of prevention, control, screening, health disparities, and cancer care delivery among the minority populations of interest. In light of an aging population and the increasing number of cancer survivors, this NCORP has the expertise and leadership as evident by demonstrable research in these areas that address cancer control and patient centered cancer care delivery. Furthermore, the ability to address cancer prevention and control among adolescents and young adults (AYA) is also a key strength of our team. The NCA NCORP will address the needs of our catchment area via cancer prevention, control, screening as well as treatment and imaging studies. The specific aims of the proposed National Capital Area NCORP are to: (1) Design and participate in clinical trials in cancer clinical research that improves the quality of care and the health outcomes of the US population in our catchment area; (2) Increase the participation of the greater DC area’s community oncologists and medical specialists and their patients in NCORP-led clinical research; and (3) Expand health disparities research focused on clinical research participation via community outreach, engagement, and education.

抽象的 国家资本区（NCA）少数民族/服务不足的NCORP将位于乔治敦伦巴第 综合癌症中心（LCCC），包括乔治敦大学医院（MGUH）和 MEDSTAR华盛顿医院中心（MWHC）作为主要关联公司，集水区完成了48.3％ 非拉丁裔黑人（NLB）和10.6％的西班牙裔/拉丁裔（H/L），包括华盛顿特区和附近 马里兰州和弗吉尼亚州的县。 MWHC主要服务，即，少数群体> 85％ 人口；并治疗2,000多名主要少数癌症患者和48,000名门诊患者， 单程。在集水区的NLB人口中，癌症的烧伤和差异最大，因为 全国乳房，前列腺和结直肠癌的死亡率最高的证据。之中 H/L种群，癌症是H/L患者通常在后期出现的死亡的主要原因 与非拉丁裔白人（NLW）患者相比。高可预防的癌症危险因素（例如肥胖）的发生率， 身体不活跃和吸烟，以及某些癌症（例如结直肠癌）的筛查率较低 少数群体的宫颈癌为集水区看到的癌症分布做出了贡献。 NCA NCORP提议解决与这些癌症分布相关的最重要因素之一 - 有限 通过提高认识，获得最佳和最前沿的预防，癌症控制和癌症护理的供应 并在集水区提供NLB和H/L之间的癌症临床试验。 LCCC的办公室 少数民族健康与健康差异研究（OMH）代表由社区外展部门 Adams-Campbell博士建立了可行的学术社区合作伙伴关系，使NCA能够 NCORP在预防，控制，筛查，健康差异和癌症领域进行临床研究 少数关注的人群的照料分娩。鉴于人口老龄化和数量增加 在癌症的存活中，这种NCORP具有专家和领导才能，这是通过这些证明的研究证明的 解决癌症控制和患者中心癌症护理的领域。此外，解决的能力 青少年和年轻人（AYA）的癌症预防和控制也是我们团队的关键优势。 NCA NCORP将通过预防癌症，控制，筛查来满足我们集水区的需求 作为治疗和成像研究。拟议的国家首都地区NCORP的具体目的是：（1） 设计并参与癌症临床研究的临床试验，以提高护理质量和健康 美国集水区的美国人口的结果； （2）增加大型DC地区的参与 在NCORP领导的临床研究中，社区肿瘤学家和医学专家及其患者； （3） 扩大健康差异研究，重点是通过社区外展活动， 参与和教育。
