  • Prostate Tissue Study

    A study to investigate to what extent blood (circulating) concentrations of sex hormones represent concentrations within the prostate

  • Prostate, Lung, Colon, and Ovary Prospective Study

    A large cohort study of etiologic determinants of cancer carried out within an NCI trial for the evaluation of screening procedures for the early detection of prostate, lung, colon, and ovarian cancer (the PLCO Trial) at 10 U.S. screening centers
