Camp, Nicola J. | Genome-wide linkage analysis for aggressive prostate cancer in Utah high risk pedigrees | Research has consistently shown that genetics plays a critical role in prostate cancer (CaP) development, but the identification of CaP genes has proven to be very difficult. Hereditary prostate cancer is a complex disease involving numerous genes and variable phenotypic expression. This heterogene... | Linkage analysis; Aggressive prostate cancer; CaP genes; ICPCG; Utah; Trapeze Interactive Poster | 2009 |

Dibble, Leland E. | Eccentric exercise versus usual-care with older cancer survivors: the impact on muscle and mobility- an exploratory pilot study | Background: Resistance exercise programs with high compliance are needed to counter impaired muscle and mobility in older cancer survivors. To date outcomes have focused on older prostate cancer survivors, though more heterogeneous groups of older survivors are in-need. The purpose of this explorat... | 2011 | |
