Cancer Care Outcomes Research & Surveillance Consortium
The NCI, in collaboration with the Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA), is supporting a research consortium of eight grantees to measure the
quality of cancer care and associated health outcomes in the United States. This project,
entitled "Cancer Care Outcomes Research and Surveillance Consortium" (CanCORS), supports
prospective research in a cohort of approximately 10,000 patients with newly diagnosed
lung cancer or colorectal cancer recruited from geographically diverse populations and
health care systems.
Seven of the CanCORS sites are supported by NCI grants funded
through a cooperative agreement with ARP. The VA funds the eighth site.
