Leaders in Prostate Cancer Research and Treatment

The division has developed a focused Duke Prostate Center in collaboration with the Duke Cancer Institute, the Radiation Oncology Department, and Medical Oncology.

Duke’s dedicated physicians and researchers are pioneering new approaches to battling prostate cancer, including:

• Examining patterns of gene expression within prostate cancer tumors
• Analyzing prognostic factors associated with health disparities for individualized, optimized prostate cancer screening protocols
• Exploring the use of laparoscopic and robotic prostatectomy procedures to remove the prostate without making large incisions, so patients recover faster with fewer complications
