> Integrating basic science and clinical research to develop promising detection techniques and treatments for prostate disease The CPDR mission is fulfilled primarily through its three principal programs – the Clinical Research Program, the Basic Science Research Program and the Multicenter National Prostate Cancer Database – and through a robust education and training program that operates out of its Headquarters location, the Clinical Research Center, and the original laboratories at USUHS. CPDR is also committed to patient outreach, primarily through its affiliation with the WRAMC US TOO! organization and through a heavy schedule of health fairs in which it participates.

In the past we have presented a panel of prostate cancer survivors who frankly described their individual experiences with various prostrate cancer treatments, then answered questions. This approach was well-received and we have had requests about having a similar program. So here it is! This newsletter is published quarterly. Don't miss a single issue. CPDR Offers Support Group November 10, 2008 CPDR Patient Educator, Dr. Jane Hudak, offers to provide emotional support and information to the supportive spouses in our community who are affected by prostate cancer. The group offers frank discussion, support, information, sharing experiences, camaraderie and FUN! This women’s group meets the second Wednesday of each month
Multi-center National Prostate Patient Database Current Nomogram Predicting 5- and 10-year Overall Survival for Prostate Cancer (CaP) Patients In 2006, CPDR launched its latest nomogram predicting 5- and 10-year overall survival for prostate cancer (CaP) patients who have undergone radical prostatectomy followed by a PSA recurrence. This tool demonstrates the importance of PSA doubling time in predicting time to death among CaP patients treated surgically.
