Development of an Integrated Program of Health-Related Quality-of-Life Research for the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project

Abstract

This Career Development Award (CDA) was specifically intended to support Dr. Day in the development of a Health-Related Quality of Life Program (HPQL) for the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) . There are now a total of five ongoing NSABP HRQL studies in the process of data collection (P-2, B-30, B-32, B-33, C-07) and one in the planning stage (STAR-COG) . %) . The result of this work has been that after 36 months, there is a solid HRQL program of at NSABP which encompasses both treatment and prevention trials. For the final 12 months of the CDA, Dr. Day has been given relief from all day-to- day monitoring responsibilities for ongoing protocols and will serve as a consultant for study development. This will permit him to devote all of his time in the next 12 months to the completion of manuscripts currently in preparation.
