Abstract:

The purpose of this project is to develop a novel genomic/biological risk prediction approach to prostate cancer in men of African descent by identifying and developing a genomic signature that can predict for aggressive and potentially lethal prostate cancer. This project will utilize rich data from several large data sources and registries to evaluate the impact of genetic biomarkers and other clinical factors on the risk of lethal prostate cancer in men of African descent. The resulting genomic findings could help improve currently used clinical tools to identify African-descent men most likely to be at risk of lethal prostate cancer.
