Cancer Cooperative Group leaders propose a re-engineering of the nation's correlative science program for cancer.

Cancer Cooperative Group leaders are proposing a re-engineering of the nation's correlative science program for cancer.

The leaders also recommend making process changes to improve access to biological samples contributed by patients. The Cooperative Groups are integral to the National Cancer Institute and the National Clinical Trials Network. [Extracted from the article]
