Abstract:
The tumor hospital has its unique resources superiority.To collect and utilize the information from tumor patients,information from their diagnosis and treatment,and biological specimens,through clinical epidemiology methods and design,would facilitate the deep development in the management and research at tumor hospitals in the new circumstances.Nantong Tumor Hospital,a first rate 3A hospital,and also one of the earliest-run specialized tumor hospitals in prefecture-level cities,possesses own basis for clinical epidemiological research,medical follow-up,and application of biobanking.In this paper we report the specific work plan and work contents,including:to establish a hospital-based cancer registry system for serving clinical epidemiology; to set up a follow-up system for clinical cases with tumor,in order to assess the effect of factors on tumor treatment and to analyse their survival rates; to build a biobank of tumor cases with perfect epidemiological information and background,fitting in with the needs of the development of translational medicine.The bottleneck problems in the work are also discussed.
