PURPOSE The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Center for Global Health promotes global oncology research to reduce cancer burden worldwide. In 2009, NCI launched the Latin American Cancer Research Network (LACRN) to support a clinical cancer research network in Latin America. LACRN was started by a coalition of research institutions through bilateral collaborative agreements between the US Department of Health and Human Services and the governments of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Uruguay. The LACRN is supported through a research contract to a study coordination center and subcontracts to 6 low- and middle-income country sites. The participating countries have a shared goal that meets the specific research needs of the regions. The overarching purpose of this endeavor is to implement high-quality standards for conducting clinical research studies and developing collaborative cancer research projects. METHODS NCI supported a clinical breast cancer project for LACRN, “Molecular profiling of breast cancer (MPBC) in Latin American women with stage II and III breast cancer receiving standard neo-adjuvant chemotherapy.” The molecular profiling of breast cancer study was conducted in 40 hospitals and research institutions across 5 countries with a study population of approximately 1,400 patients. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Establishing a comprehensive network in Latin America and their research institutions yielded an incredible research resource that can be used in future studies, driven by the network. Throughout the process of developing and implementing studies, LACRN helped identify key elements of the functionality of research networks, such as the pivotal role of institutional and government commitment for sustainability; the importance of building multidisciplinary teams, transparent communications, and training; the ability to combine translational, epidemiology, and clinical research to close research gaps; and the application of new technologies to standard cancer clinical care.

Por medio del análisis de contenido se propone relacionar la teorización que desde diversas fuentes académicas se ha venido realizando en torno al cuerpo con momentos históricos del pasado reciente en Latinoamérica, en concreto en periodo dictatoriales. Se propone una revisión de la tortura y la desaparición como elementos centrales en la construcción nacional y en la formación capitalista; así como el uso y producción de discursos en torno al cuerpo como resistencias frente al orden estatal que ha venido imponiendo la violencia en el contexto de diferentes dictaduras en países de América del Sur. Rastrearemos la producción científica para entender el cuerpo humano como algo social y simbólicamente construido y expondremos mediante un recorrido histórico ciertos estudios de caso. En dichos casos el ejercicio de suplicios, malos tratos y vejaciones han servido para generar dinámicas de poder-resistencia en torno a la persona, no vista desde un punto de vista individual o psicológico sino social, relacional y en construcción. Palabras clave: tortura, resistencia, violencia, neoliberalismo, América Latina Political and politicians bodies in the Latin American dictatorships Abstract Through content analysis it is proposed relate theorizing from various academic sources has been carried around the body with historical moments of the recent past in Latin America, particularly in dictatorial period. A review of torture and disappearance as central elements in national construction and the capitalist formation is proposed; and the use and production of speeches around the body as resistance against the state order that has been imposed violence in the context of different dictatorships in countries in South America. We will track the scientific production to understand the human body as social and symbolically constructed and will discuss a historical journey through some case studies. In such cases the exercise of torture, ill-treatment and harassment have served to generate power dynamics-resistance around the person, not viewed from an individual or psychological but social, relational and construction sight.

ResumenEl documento muestra un avance del protocolo de investigación titulado “la constitución científica de la investigación latinoamericana en comunicación. Una aproximación a las características estructurales de la producción científica del Pensamiento Latinoamericano de la Comunicación (PLC) 1997-2010”, el cual es financiado por el Programa de Mejoramiento del Profesorado de la Secretaría de Educación Pública de México y la Universidad de Sonora (www.uson.mx). Particularmente, expone algunas de las características de hondo arraigo que buscan enfatizar cuáles son y en qué consisten las estrategias, posiciones y prácticas científicas en los principales colectivos científicos que hoy en día encarnan a la investigación latinoamericana en Comunicación: por un lado, con respecto a la producción científica generada por la llamada Escuela Latinoamericana de la Comunicación (ELACOM). Por otro, con respecto a la producción científica que simboliza a la Asociación Latinoamericana de Investigadores de la Comunicación (ALAIC). Finalmente, se analizan las estrategias, posiciones y prácticas científicas divulgan algunas de las más destacadas revistas latinoamericanas de la comunicación.Palabras claveInvestigación de la Comunicación, Ética de la Comunicación, Epistemología, Transdisciplina. ResumoEste artigo mostra algumas das características estruturais que procuram enfatizar quais são e em que consistem as principais perspectivas e posições epistemológicas interdisciplinarias no coletivo cientista da chamada Associação Latinoamericana de Pesquisadores da Comunicação (ALAIC). Também algumas de suas principais distinções com os aportes que por separado geram duas fontes de investigação em comunicação que são a estas datas transcendentais no campo de estudos da comunicação em Latinoamérica: por um lado, com respeito à produção científica gerada pela Escola Latinoamericana da Comunicação (ELACOM). Por outro, com respeito à produção científica que divulgam algumas das mais marcantes revistas latinoamericanas da Comunicação.Palavras-ChaveInterdisciplina, Investigação da Comunicação, Epistemologia, transdisciplina.AbstractThe document shows some of the structural features that seek to emphasize what they are and what the major interdisciplinary perspectives and epistemological positions in the Latin American Communication Researchers. Also some of their main distinctions with the contributions of two important sources in the field of communication studies in Latin America: on one hand, with regard to scientific output generated by the scientific community of the so-called Latin American School of Communication. For other one, with regard to the scientific production that there spread some of the most prominent Latin American journals of CommunicationKey WordsInterdisciplinary, Communication Research, Epistemology, Cross-discipline.
