DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): MSKCC has made a major commitment to translational research in prostate cancer, recruited new faculty, constructed new facilities, and provided substantial pilot funding for translational research projects. MSKCC cares for a large population of patients (less than 1400/yr) with all stages of prostate cancer. While ethnic minorities are under represented, the large prostate cancer population assures sufficient minority patients eligible for SPORE investigations. Our strategy is to develop risk-adjusted therapies targeted to the characteristics of individual cancers. Translational research objectives are to: 1) develop predictive models of the natural history of localized cancer to improve patient decision-making and treatment selection, 2) determine critical molecular and genetic mechanisms of progression and metastasis; 3) develop risk-adjusted therapy for progression after local treatment using immunologic (PSMA-targeted vaccines) and other biologic agents; and 4) develop new mechanism-based therapy for advanced cancers. These goals will be addressed through 4 research projects (Population-based study of natural history, Molecular carcinogenesis, DNA vaccines, and Experimental therapeutics) supported by 6 cores (Pathology and tissue bank, Informatics, Animal models, Animal imaging, DNA arrays, and Administration), and Developmental Research (pilot projects) and Career Development components. The applied and basic scientists are organized into 3 multidisciplinary Translational Working Groups: Clinical Outcomes and Prognosis, Molecular Mechanisms and Markers, and Experimental Therapeutics. This SPORE addresses key research priorities of the NCI's Prostate Cancer Progress Review Group: new animal models, molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis and invasion, validation of prognostic markers, and new targets for therapy. An MSKCC SPORE can provide NCI with a large patient population and frozen tissue bank, a history of active participation in clinical trials, a multidisciplinary team of clinicians and scientists successfully collaborating, an expanding basic research program, and advanced experimental therapeutics. The ultimate goal is to bring basic discoveries regarding mechanisms of prostate cancer development and progression to the clinic. With SPORE support, MSKCC can expand its approaches to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of prostate cancer to eventually reduce morbidity and mortality from this disease.

描述(由申请人提供)： MSKCC对前列腺癌的翻译研究做出了重大承诺 癌症，招聘新教员，建造新设施，并提供 为翻译研究项目提供大量试点资金。MSKCC关心 对于大量患者(每年少于1400人)，所有阶段的 前列腺癌。虽然少数民族的代表性不足，但大多数人 前列腺癌人口确保有足够的少数族裔患者有资格 孢子调查。我们的战略是开发风险调整疗法 针对个别癌症的特点。翻译研究 目标是：1)开发自然历史的预测模型 局部化癌症以改善患者的决策和治疗选择， 2)确定进展和发展的关键分子和遗传机制 转移；3)开发局部进展的风险调整治疗 使用免疫学(PSMA靶向疫苗)和其他生物疗法 药物；以及4)为晚期癌症开发基于机制的新疗法。 这些目标将通过4个研究项目(以人口为基础)来实现 自然历史、分子致癌、DNA疫苗和 实验治疗学)由6个核心支持(病理学和组织库， 信息学、动物模型、动物成像、DNA阵列和管理)， 和发展研究(试点项目)和职业发展组成部分。 应用科学家和基础科学家被组织成3个多学科 翻译工作组：临床结果和预后，分子 机制和标记物，以及实验治疗学。这个孢子的地址是 NCI前列腺癌进展回顾小组的主要研究重点： 新的动物模型，致癌和侵袭的分子机制， 验证预后标记物和新的治疗靶点。一种MSKCC孢子 可以为NCI提供大量的患者群体和冰冻组织库， 积极参与临床试验的历史，多学科团队 临床医生和科学家成功合作，这是一个不断扩大的基础 研究计划和高级实验疗法。终极目标 是带来关于前列腺癌发病机制的基本发现 向临床发展和进展。有了孢子支持，MSKCC可以 扩展其预防、诊断和治疗前列腺癌的方法 癌症，最终降低这种疾病的发病率和死亡率。
