- Description
- The National Cancer Institute (NCI) intends to negotiate with the Cancer Institute, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing, People?s Republic of China, for the evaluation of techniques for the early detection and treatment of esophageal and gastric cancer. Over 1,000 patients with dysplasia or early invasive cancer of the esophagus or gastric cardia will be required for this project. The study will be conducted over a five year period. The Government intends to award a fixed-price contract. Most patients with these lesions are asymptomatic, so the subjects needed for this study will have to be identified from an asymptomatic high-risk population. For this reason, the project will be carried out in the Linxian region of China, a geographic area with the HIGHEST RATES of esophageal and gastric cardia cancer IN THE WORLD. The combination of an asymptomatic high-risk population and an experienced research team with proven successful activities similar to those needed in the current project makes the Cancer Institute, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences uniquely qualified to evaluate the early detection and treatment methods that will be evaluated. No such study population exists in the United States, making competition infeasible. The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source. Authority: 41 U.S.C.253 (c)(1) as set forth in FAR 6.302-1. See numbered note 22. No phone calls will be accepted.
