The Center for Prostate Disease Research (CPDR): a multidisciplinary approach to translational research.
This article describes the history, structure, and contributions of the Center for Prostate Disease Research. It divides the organization into the clinical program at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, the basic science program in Rockville, MD, and the multi-center national database. The emphasis of this article is not the achievements of the individual programs but their synergy, establishing a comprehensive multidisciplinary prostate center.
