The primary objective of the research program of the Division of Surgical Oncology is laboratory, pre-clinical and clinical research in cancer that impacts upon the surgical care of cancer patients, especially the patients under the care of the personnel of the Division of Surgical Oncology and the Breast Care Center. The research should be of the highest scientific and ethical caliber covering the spectrum from fundamental and translational investigations to pilot studies and to Phase I, II, and III clinical trials. It is expected that all Division of Surgical Oncology and the Breast Care Center surgical faculty will participate in the research activities and that all research projects will move towards and achieve peer-reviewed funding in a timely fashion. Also, the Division of Surgical Oncology and the Breast Care Center will support local and cooperative group trials and other oncologic research efforts of the other clinical oncology disciplines, other surgical divisions with oncologic interests, and the Vermont Cancer Center.
