Major goals: to define molecular profiles representative of androgen-independent prostate carcinoma by comprehensive, microarray-based gene expression analysis and comparison of androgen-dependent and —independent tumors, to develop robust molecular histopathologic methods to identify and quantitate androgen-dependent and —independent tumor cell subclones within primary human prostate carcinomas, and to analyze the relationship between molecular classification and clinical course of disease.

The major goals of this project are to continue the development of novel systemic therapy for prostate cancer. The development of better prognostic models of lethal variants of early stage prostate cancer and the characterization of important molecular pathways that lead to progression and metastases were designed to support our therapeutic objective by elucidation of specific targets within prostate cancer cells appropriate for mechanism-based therapy. Our central hypothesis has been that the molecular determinants of prostate cancer development and progression vary as the disease evolves.
