Advanced Cancer Detection Center
Abstract
The goals of the Advanced Cancer Detection Center of the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute at the University of South Florida include the discovery of molecular and genetic markers of cancer risk, the identification of individuals at high risk for cancer through screening, and the testing of methods to prevent cancer. In addition, the Center created and supports education programs to provide increased cancer awareness and established working collaborations with the James A. Haley VA Medical Center, the Bay Pines VA Medical Center, and the MacDill Air Force Base Hospital. The projects included in this report are: * Markers of Transformation in Airways Epithelial Cells from a Cohort of Obstructed Smokers and Former Smokers (PI: Tockman) * Breast Cancer Early Detection Study: Feasibility of Detecting and Characterizing Molecular and Antigenic Markers in Fluid from Breast Nipple Aspirate (PI: Shaw) * Genetic Analysis of Familial Prostate Cancer (PI:Sutphen) * The Specific Role of Genistein in Reducing Hormonal and Proliferative Risk Parameters in Prostate Cancer (PI: Kumar) * Specific Role of Genistein and Breast Cancer Risk (PI: Kumar) * Phase IlA Chemoprevention Study of Selenium in Persons at Risk for Lung Cancer (PI: Shaw) * Development of the Moffitt Cancer Network as a Telemedicine and Teleconferencing Educational Tool for Health Care Providers (PI: Krischer) Each of these projects is presented as a complete study in the attached materials.
