CoE-Prostate Cancer Center of Excellence (USUHS)
Abstract
The Center for Prostate Disease Research (CPDR) is DoD designated Prostate Cancer Center of Excellence (CoE) conducting interdisciplinary translational cancer research program of the Murtha Cancer Center, Department of Surgery, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS), and the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC). The CPDR conducts state-of-the-art clinical, translational and epidemiological research with an emphasis on precision medicine to enhance the readiness of active-duty personnel in conjunction with the continuum of medical care for military retirees and beneficiaries. Ground-breaking discoveries through strong academic and clinical research (e.g., 30 yrs. and over 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, biostatisticians, medical technologists, research nurses, patient educators, 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 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.
