Research seeking to improve patient engagement with decision-making, use of evidence-based guidelines, and coordination of multi-specialty care has made important contributions to the decades-long effort to improve cancer care. The National Cancer Institute expanded support for these efforts by including cancer care delivery research in the 2014 formation of the National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP). Cancer care delivery research is a multi-disciplinary effort to generate evidence-based practice change that improves clinical outcomes and patient well-being. NCORP scientists and community-based clinicians and organizations rapidly embraced the addition of this type of research into the network, resulting in a robust portfolio of observational studies and intervention studies within the first 5 years of funding. This commentary describes the initial considerations in conducting this type of research in a network previously focused on cancer prevention, control, and treatment studies; characterizes the protocols developed to date; and outlines future directions for cancer care delivery research in the second round of NCORP funding.

NCI社区肿瘤学研究计划中癌症护理提供研究的进展。

旨在通过决策，使用循证指南和协调多专业护理来提高患者参与度的研究为数十年来改善癌症护理的努力做出了重要贡献。美国国家癌症研究所通过在2014年成立的美国国家癌症研究所社区肿瘤学研究计划（NCORP）中纳入癌症护理提供的研究，扩大了对这些努力的支持。癌症护理交付研究是一项跨学科的工作，旨在产生基于证据的实践变更，从而改善临床结果和患者的健康。NCORP的科学家，社区临床医生和组织迅速接受将此类研究添加到网络中，从而在资助的前5年中获得了功能强大的观察性研究和干预研究组合。该评论描述了在以前侧重于癌症预防，控制和治疗研究的网络中进行此类研究的初步考虑；表征迄今为止开发的协议；并在第二轮NCORP资助中概述了癌症护理交付研究的未来方向。
