DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of this University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center Genitourinary SPORE in Bladder Cancer is to facilitate innovative translational research in the prevention, detection, and treatment of this disease leading to the elimination of bladder cancer as a major health problem. We have invested in several major translational research themes: identification of a novel class of genes referred to as "forerunners" whose involvement precedes the loss of function of major tumor suppressor genes in the development of cancer, identification of persons with an increased inherited and/or acquired risk of developing bladder cancer or recurring following therapy by molecular epidemiology, developing targeted bladder cancer therapies for advanced disease, and the development of improved therapy for superficial disease. To achieve these goals, our SPORE has assembled clinicians and basic scientists including urologists, medical oncologists, pathologists, molecular epidemiologists, molecular and cell biologists, biostatisticians, and experts in development of new technologies and informatics. The SPORE includes 4 inter-related projects that deal with 1) early detection of bladder cancer, 2) risk assessment for bladder cancer 3) biology and therapeutic targeting of the epidermal growth factor receptor in bladder cancer, and 4) improving therapy for superficial bladder cancer through adenoviral mediated gene therapy. These projects are supported by 4 Cores: (A) Administrative; (B) Pathology & Tissue Resources; (C). Biostatistics and Bioinformatics; and (D) Clinical Trials and Data Management. All of the scientific projects are translational in nature; focus on human bladder cancer; involve clinical and basic investigators and biostatisticians; interact with the other projects; and utilize Core resources. Innovative Developmental and Career Development Projects have brought new investigators into and stimulated the SPORE that is represented in each of the major projects. This SPORE addresses clinical dilemmas facing patients with all forms of bladder cancer, and will provide a critical component of a larger effort to develop effective strategies for chemoprevention, detection, molecular profiling and therapeutics, bioimmunotherapy, chemotherapy, supportive care, and community awareness. Achievement of the aims and objectives of this proposal will result in a major decrease in the incidence, morbidity and mortality of bladder cancer.

描述（由申请人提供）： 德克萨斯大学 MD 安德森癌症中心泌尿生殖孢子膀胱癌的总体目标是促进预防、检测和治疗这种疾病的创新转化研究，从而消除膀胱癌这一主要健康问题。我们投资了几个主要的转化研究主题：鉴定一类被称为“先行者”的新型基因，其参与先于癌症发展过程中主要抑癌基因的功能丧失，鉴定患有膀胱癌的遗传性和/或获得性风险增加或分子流行病学治疗后复发的人，开发针对晚期疾病的靶向膀胱癌疗法，以及开发改进的膀胱癌治疗方法。 治疗浅表疾病。为了实现这些目标，我们的 SPORE 聚集了临床医生和基础科学家，包括泌尿科医生、肿瘤内科医生、病理学家、分子流行病学家、分子和细胞生物学家、生物统计学家以及新技术和信息学开发专家。 SPORE 包括 4 个相互关联的项目，涉及 1) 膀胱癌的早期检测，2) 膀胱癌的风险评估，3) 膀胱癌表皮生长因子受体的生物学和治疗靶向，以及 4) 通过腺病毒介导的基因治疗改善浅表性膀胱癌的治疗。这些项目由 4 个核心支持：(A) 行政； (B) 病理学和组织资源； （三）。生物统计学和生物信息学； (D) 临床试验和数据管理。所有的科学项目本质上都是转化性的；关注人类膀胱癌；让临床和基础研究人员以及生物统计学家参与进来；与其他项目互动；并利用核心资源。创新发展和职业发展项目吸引了新的研究人员进入并刺激了每个主要项目中所代表的孢子。该 SPORE 解决了所有形式的膀胱癌患者面临的临床困境，并将为制定化学预防、检测、分子分析和治疗、生物免疫治疗、化疗、支持护理和社区意识的有效策略的更大努力提供关键组成部分。该提案的目的和目标的实现将导致膀胱癌的发病率、发病率和死亡率大幅下降。
