Men's Health studies
Our robust men’s health research program includes research scientists and clinicians at our Southern California medical centers. Several studies stem from the California Men’s Health Study, which evaluated risk factors for prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and erectile dysfunction in 80,000 Kaiser Permanente members in California. We evaluate new tests for prostate cancer screening and also evaluate quality of life for newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients, assess preventive services in prostate cancer survivors, and examine genetic and other factors associated with aggressive and fatal prostate cancer.
Identification of DNA methylation markers for risk of metastasis in localized prostate
