Samuel A.Wells,Jr.,MD Professor of Surgery Duke University Medical Center Durham,North Carolina The formal organization of a clinical trial program for the treatment of patients with malignant diseases began in this country over 50 years ago and resulted in a large part from the availability of promising therapeutic agents for the treatment of leukemia,and subsequently solid tumors.The National Cancer Institute(NCI)initiated this effort,which has gradually expanded to include twelve cooperative clinical trial groups involving 1700 institutions in Canada,Europe and the United States.The cooperative groups,administered by the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program of the NCI,enter over 22,000 patients on clinical studies each year.The groups are large and complex organizations that include a number of specialists,such as:clinical oncologists,statisticians,other medical specialists,basic scientists,nurses,epidemiologists,health services researchers,data managers,information technologists,auditors,data and safety monitoring committee members,and patient advocates.Additional cancer clinical trials are supported by investigator-initiated grants or by the NO1 contract mechanism.The individual groups have conducted highly important clinical trials,which have substantially improved the treatment of patients with cancer.To appreciate the contributions of the cooperative group program,one need only review the accomplishments of the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast Project,which greatly improved the management of patients with carcinoma of the breast,or the role of the Childrens Cancer Group and the Pediatric Oncology Group(now combined as the Childrens Oncology Group),which reduced the mortality of childhood cancer(Figure IA)despite an increasing incidence(Figure 1B).The pediatric clinical trial groups have had a remarkable impact on the survival of children with cancer,due in a large part to their ability to accrue over half of children with cancer in the U.S.and Canada to their clinical trials,a rate more than ten times that achieved by the adult cooperative groups.XIV Dr.Leong has edited and authored an important book on Cancer Clinical Trials:Proactive Strategies.There are contributions from a series of international experts on clinical trials.This book provides an important historical context and thoroughl
