DCEG researchers conduct studies on prostate cancer, a cancer that usually occurs in older men. Selected studies include:
A study designed to assess the burden of prostate cancer in Ghana in order to evaluate how the impact of prostate cancer among West Africans compares to that among African-Americans
Studies of prostate cancer and novel infections
A population-based multidisciplinary case-control study conducted in Shanghai, China to investigate the reasons for the extremely low risk of prostate cancer in China
A multi-racial methodologic study in the U.S. and China to investigate whether serum levels of hormones reflect intraprostatic androgenicity
A large cohort study of etiologic determinants of cancer carried out within an NCI trial for the evaluation of screening procedures for the early detection of prostate, lung, colon, and ovarian cancer (the PLCO Trial) at 10 U.S. screening centers
