The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center is a cancer research institute established in 1972 in Seattle, Washington.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://fhcrc.org/about/mission.html )〕 ==History== The center grew out of the Pacific Northwest Research Foundation, founded in 1956 by William B. Hutchinson. The Foundation was dedicated to the study of heart surgery, cancer, and diseases of the endocrine system. In 1964, Dr. Hutchinson's brother Fred Hutchinson died of lung cancer. The next year, Dr. William Hutchinson established the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center as a division of the Pacific Northwest Research Foundation.〔Louis Fiset, December 30, 2004 for HistoryLink: The Free, Online Encyclopedia of Washington State History (Hutchinson, Dr. William B. (1909-1997) )〕 In 1972, with the help of Senator Warren G. Magnuson PNRF received federal funding under the National Cancer Act of 1971 to create in Seattle one of the 15 new NCI-designated Cancer Centers aimed at conducting basic research〔Simone JV. Understanding cancer centers. J Clin Oncol. 2002 Dec 1;20(23):4503-7. PMID 12454105〕 called for under 1971 Act; the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center became independent 1972 and its building opened 3 years later.〔〔Jane Sanders for the University of Washington Libraries. 1987 (Essay: A Legacy of Public Service )〕〔Melissa Allison for the Seattle Times. October 20, 2012 (Obituary: E. Donnall Thomas, Nobel winner for bone-marrow transplant advances )〕〔US Government Accounting Office. March 17, 1976. (Comprehensive Cancer Centers: Their Locations and Role )〕 The center was named an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in 1976.〔NCI (Fred Hutchinson/University of Washington Cancer Consortium ) Page access June 27, 2015〕 In 1998, the center formed the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA), a separate nonprofit corporation,〔Washington State Hospital Association (Hospital Details: Seattle Cancer Care Alliance ) Page accessed June 27, 2015〕 with UW Medicine, and Seattle Children's. This solidified the center's reach into clinical care and was essential for it retaining its NCI comprehensive center designation;〔BusinessWire October 24, 2012 (Fitch Affirms Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (WA) Rev Bonds at A+; Outlook Stable )〕 the designation was extended to the center's consortium including the SCCA in 2003.〔 SCCA's outpatient clinic first opened in January 2001.〔 In 2001, the Seattle Times published a series of articles alleging that investigators at the center (including the Center's co-founder Dr. E. Donnall Thomas) were conducting unethical clinical studies on cancer patients. The paper alleged that in two cancer studies conducted in the 1980s and early 1990s, patients were not informed about all the risks of the study, nor about the study doctors' financial interest in study outcome. The paper also alleged that this financial interest may have contributed to the doctors' failure to halt the studies despite evidence that patients were dying sooner and more frequently than expected. In response, the center formed a panel of independent experts to review its existing research practices, leading to adoption of "one of the nation's toughest conflict-of-interest rules." In 2014, the center announced that D. Gary Gilliland would become president and CEO in 2015;〔Seattle Times Staff. November 20, 2014 (Genetics expert named director, president of Fred Hutch )〕 he took over from Lawrence Corey who was appointed as the 4th President in 2010, following the retirement of Lee Hartwell. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
