BACKGROUND
The Gastro-Esophageal Malignancies in Northern Iran (GEMINI) research project is an example of recent progress in health research in Iran. The original aim of this project was to identify etiologic factors and prevention measures for upper gastrointestinal cancers in Northern provinces of Iran, but its achievements have gone much beyond this initial goal.
METHODS
GEMINI consists of several projects including cancer registries, pilot studies, case-control studies, and the Golestan Cohort Study. GEMINI has been conducted through extensive collaborations between the Digestive Disease Research Center of Tehran University of Medical Sciences with other domestic and international health organizations. The achievements of GEMINI include producing new knowledge, introducing new research methods, developing and expanding health research and health care infrastructures, investing in human resources, and increasing the awareness and knowledge of policy makers and officials at all levels about the importance of chronic diseases in Iran's health priorities.
CONCLUSION
The success of GEMINI reveals the feasibility of large-scale health research studies in developing countries and serves as a successful model not only for health research in Iran, but also for similar research studies in other developing nations.
背景
伊朗北部胃肠癌（GEMINI）研究项目是伊朗健康研究领域近期进展的一个范例。该项目的最初目标是确定伊朗北部省份上消化道癌症的病因和预防措施，但它的成就远远超出了最初的目标。
方法
GEMINI 由多个项目组成，包括癌症登记处、试点研究、病例对照研究和戈勒斯坦队列研究。GEMINI 通过德黑兰医科大学消化疾病研究中心与其他国内外卫生组织之间的广泛合作进行。GEMINI 的成就包括产生新知识、引入新的研究方法、开发和扩大卫生研究和卫生保健基础设施、投资人力资源以及提高各级决策者和官员对伊朗卫生重点中慢性病重要性的认识和知识。
结论
GEMINI 的成功表明在发展中国家开展大规模卫生研究的可行性，不仅为伊朗的卫生研究，也为其他发展中国家的类似研究提供了成功的范例。
