Minority-Based Community Clinical Oncology Program is a grant-funded non-profit institution located in the John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County. Our grant is managed by the Hektoen Institute (E9984-7647-05).
The CCOP Network was created in 1983 as a national mechanism for community-based physicians to partner with academic investigators. The primary goal was to accelerate implementation of NCI clinical trials for cancer prevention, control and treatment. The Minority-Based CCOP program started in 1990 as a companion mechanism to reach areas with large minority populations.
