Current research efforts focusing on improving outcomes of older adults with cancer lack the appropriate infrastructure to support this growing need. The Cancer and Aging Group R21/33 National Institute of Health (NIH)/National Institute of Aging (NIA) grant aims to support development of geriatric oncology research through dedicated cores. The mission of the Core on Behavioral, Psychological, and Supportive Care Interventions will be to provide guidance in the field of non-pharmacological interventions. The Core will provide investigators with expertise, advocacy, and support in study design, development, and execution.
当前致力于改善老年癌症患者治疗效果的研究工作缺乏适当的基础设施来满足这一日益增长的需求。美国国立卫生研究院(NIH)/国立衰老研究所(NIA)的癌症与衰老小组R21/33资助项目旨在通过专门的核心部门来支持老年肿瘤学研究的发展。行为、心理和支持性护理干预核心部门的使命将是在非药物干预领域提供指导。该核心部门将在研究设计、开发和执行方面为研究人员提供专业知识、支持与倡导。
