The epidemiology team at the Center for Prostate Disease Research leads multidisciplinary research initiatives that aim to advance our understanding of the distribution and determinants of prostate cancer.
To enhance the readiness of active duty service members, we work with basic scientists, urologists, oncologists, pathologists, and bioinformaticians to conduct translational research related to prostate cancer etiology, outcomes, and health-related quality of life.
Utilizing CPDR and other DoD resources, we conduct epidemiologic research studies on topics related to prostate cancer development and progression, including but not limited to:
Patterns and trends in prostate cancer treatment
Health-related quality of life
Environmental and military occupation-related exposures
Determinants of prostate cancer outcomes
