Abstract
The CPDR is at the forefront of cutting-edge clinical research improving diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer involving new modalities such as, MRI guided biopsy, and evaluation of new drugs and vaccines for advanced prostate cancer. The CPDR Database continues to highlight emerging issues in prostate cancer management such as, treatment outcomes, ethnic differences and quality of life. In light of current treatment challenges with early detected prostate cancers in PSA testing era and poorly understood biology of prostate cancer, CPDR’s high-impact research is focusing on cancer causing genes that will lead to better diagnostic and prognostic markers in the management of the disease. New gene discoveries are also unraveling ethnic differences of prostate cancer biology that has potential to enhance personalized medicine.
