TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 49. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Experience A1 - Solin, Lawrence J. A2 - Kuerer, Henry M. PY - 2010 T2 - Kuerer's Breast Surgical Oncology AB - The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) has contributed a number of important research findings to the literature that are worthy of study by surgical oncologists. Large randomized trials have been performed by ECOG in conjunction with other cooperative groups, and pilot studies have been conducted within the confines of ECOG member institutions. Although many of the ECOG studies have focused on systemic treatment, a number of studies have generated information that is directly related to and of great significance for the local regional management of breast cancer. The current chapter reviews selected ECOG studies and discusses their implications for current surgical oncology practice.
