Prostate SPOREs

In 2006, it is estimated that over 230,000 new cases of prostate cancer and over 27,000 deaths will be reported in the United States. As part of an NCI-wide program aimed at identifying new opportunities in prostate cancer research, the NCI has expanded the prostate cancer SPORE program from two funded SPOREs in 1992 to eleven prostate SPOREs by the year 2002. This program has developed new scientific approaches in early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of human prostate cancer. The SPOREs in prostate cancer have evolved into a collaborative network, conducting their inter-SPORE scientific studies for the clinical evaluation of biomarkers, early phase clinical trials of anti-prostate cancer agents, and the development of inter-institutional systems to accelerate prostate cancer research.
