The Pacific Northwest Prostate Cancer Research SPORE  will involve more than 50 investigators in Seattle and Vancouver, B.C.

The POCRC is a community-based, multidisciplinary, translational research program that involves clinicians, laboratory scientists and public health scientists from several research and medical institutions in the region. The broad based approach takes full advantage of the scientific expertise available locally and allows for the pooling of clinical resources, thus facilitating population-based studies despite the low incidence of ovarian cancer

The purpose of the UCLA SPORE in Prostate Cancer is to contribute significantly to progress in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of prostate cancer. These goals will be accomplished through multiple and diverse research projects, both in basic science and population-based research, which can be rapidly translated into clinical applications.
