Surgeons play a vital role in the Cancer and Leukemia Group B by providing patients and specimens for studies of the common solid tumors, and more recently, by serving as investigators who conduct surgically focused research protocols and contribute to the correlative science studies in the Group. Surgical activities encompass thoracic, gastrointestinal, breast, and genitourinary cancers and melanoma. Surgical quality assurance is also an important focus. This article will describe the development and importance of a robust and vigorous surgical component to a strong cooperative group and highlight the many trials conducted by the Cancer and Leukemia Group B surgeons and their contributions to advancement of the care of the patient with solid organ malignancy.
外科医生在B组癌症与白血病研究组中发挥着至关重要的作用，他们为常见实体瘤的研究提供患者和标本，最近还作为研究人员开展具有手术针对性的研究方案，并为该研究组的相关科学研究做出贡献。外科手术活动涵盖胸、胃肠道、乳腺和泌尿生殖系统癌症以及黑色素瘤。手术质量保证也是一个重要重点。本文将描述一个强大且活跃的外科组成部分对于一个强大的合作研究组的发展及重要性，并着重介绍B组癌症与白血病研究组外科医生所开展的众多试验及其对实体器官恶性肿瘤患者护理进展的贡献。
