Advanced Cancer Detection Center

Abstract

The goals of the Advanced Cancer Detection Center include the discovery of molecular end genetic markers of cancer risk, the identification of individuals at high risk for cancer through screening and the testing of methods to prevent cancer. The projects included in this report are: (1) Markers of Transformation in Airways Bpithelial Cells from a Cohort of Obstructed Smokers and Former Smokers (PT: Tockman); (2) The Specific Role of Isoflavones in Reducing Hormonal and proliferative Risk Parameters in Prostate Cancer (PT: Kumar); (3) Development of the Moffitt Cancer Network (PT: Krischer); (4) African American Families with Inherited Breast or Ovarian Cancer (PT: Sutphen); (5) Molecular Fingerprint of STAT3 Regulated Genes for Early Detection of Human Cancer (pi: Jove); (6) The Tampa Bay Ovarian Cancer Study (PT: Sutphen); (7) Molecular Predictors of Disease Behavior in Thyroid Cancer (PT: Muro-Cacho); and (8) Significance of Bax-dependent Apoptosis in Prevention and Detection of Human prostate and Lung Cancer (PT: Dou). Each of these projects is presented as a complete study in the attached materials.
