CoE-Prostate Cancer Center of Excellence (USUHS)
Abstract
The Center for Prostate Disease Research (CPDR) is an interdisciplinary translational cancer research program of the Department of Surgery, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU), the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC), the Murtha Cancer Center, and the Urology Service at WRNMMC. The CPDR conducts state-of-the-art clinical and translational research with emphasis on precision medicine to enhance the readiness of active duty personnel juxtaposed with the continuum of medical care for military retirees and beneficiaries. The CPDR enriches the training of the next generation of physicians/scientists who directly benefit the quality, outcomes, and stability of the military health care delivery system. Ground-breaking discoveries through strong academic and clinical research; e.g., over 24 yrs. and 450 publications) have led to major advances in translational prostate cancer research and treatment. The CPDR integrates expertise of urologic and medical oncologists, cancer biologists, genitourinary pathologists, epidemiologists, bio-statisticians, medical technologists, research nurses, patient educators, bioinformaticians, and program management specialists. All these areas of expertise provide state-of-the-art resources for in-house and collaborative research in prostate cancer. The program is also committed to translational research training for future generations of physicians and scientists at leading DoD medical institutions (USU, WRNMMC, JPC, NMCSD, MAMC, SAMMC, and TAMC).
