CoE-Prostate Cancer Center of Excellence (USUHS)

Abstract

For the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS), the Prostate Cancer Center of Excellence (CoE), formerly a Congressional Special Interest program, the Center for Prostate Disease Research (CPDR), was chartered in 1992 to conduct basic, clinical and translational research programs to combat diseases of the prostate. The CPDR studies prostate cancer and prostate diseases in the military health care system. The program’s mission is fulfilled primarily through its three principal programs- the Clinical Translational Research, the Basic Science Research and the Tri-Service Multicenter Database which includes five participating military medical centers. The CPDR has been conducting patient centric cutting-edge translational research to improve the management of all stages of prostate cancer for over 22 yrs as recognized by nearly 400 scientific publications. CPDR has also been committed to the research training of the next generation of DoD doctors and scientists (USU medical and graduate students and Walter Reed residents). Many of the trainees are now service chiefs and program directors in prestigious military and civilian medical centers.
