Background

The number of cancer survivors in the US is dramatically increasing and survivors are living longer, making the ongoing care and quality of life in this growing population an important public health issue. Although there has been significant progress in cancer survivorship research, gaps in translating this research to real-world settings to benefit survivors remain.

Methods

The number and type of cancer survivorship research activities in past and current projects were gathered in reports and work plans from the Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network (CPCRN). Additionally, current cross-center projects were aligned with common constructs in dissemination and implementation science to provide a narrative review of progress on translational research.

Results

A review of historical activities in the CPCRN indicates that there has been consistent engagement in survivorship from multiple institutions over the last decade, generating 84 grants, 168 papers and 162 presentations. The current membership of the Survivorship Workgroup includes multiple disciplines and all 8 participating institutions. Together these Workgroup members have developed 6 projects, all of which address multiple domains in translational research such as feasibility, practicality, and organizational and cultural factors that affect implementation.

Conclusions

This review of past and ongoing activities in the CPCRN suggests that survivorship has been a consistent priority including the translation of evidence-based approaches into practice. Specific gaps in the translational research agenda that could be the focus of future investigations by Workgroup members and others include the practical and logistic aspects of interventions such as cost and policy.

重新审视癌症生存研究翻译的呼吁：采用多学科协作方法来改进翻译和传播

背景

美国癌症幸存者的数量急剧增加，幸存者的寿命也越来越长，这使得不断增长的人口的持续护理和生活质量成为一个重要的公共卫生问题。尽管癌症生存研究取得了重大进展，但将这项研究转化为现实世界以造福幸存者方面仍然存在差距。

方法

癌症预防和控制研究网络（CPRN）的报告和工作计划中收集了过去和当前项目中癌症生存研究活动的数量和类型。此外，当前的跨中心项目与传播和实施科学的常见结构保持一致，以提供对转化研究进展的叙述性回顾。

结果

对 CPRN 历史活动的回顾表明，在过去十年中，多个机构一直致力于幸存者研究，产生了 84 项资助、168 篇论文和 162 篇演讲。幸存者工作组目前的成员包括多个学科和所有 8 个参与机构。这些工作组成员共同开发了 6 个项目，所有这些项目都涉及转化研究的多个领域，例如可行性、实用性以及影响实施的组织和文化因素。

结论

对 CPRN 过去和正在进行的活动的回顾表明，生存一直是一个一贯的优先事项，包括将循证方法转化为实践。转化研究议程中的具体差距可能成为工作组成员和其他人未来调查的重点，包括成本和政策等干预措施的实际和后勤方面。
