Advanced Cancer Detection Center

Abstract

The goals of the Advanced Cancer Detection Center 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. The Center also focuses on the development of new technologies for enhancing education and communication via web-based tool development. The projects included in this report are: Lung Cancer Screening with Computed Tomography: Initial Results of Cohort Screening Trial, The Tampa Bay Ovarian Cancer Study, Development of the Moffitt Cancer Network, Epoxide Hydrolase Genetic Polymorphisms and Their Functional Significance, and African American Families with Inherited Breast or Ovarian Cancer.
