Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in men and is currently the second-leading cause of death in men in the U.S. In 2001, the National Cancer Institute established seven Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPORE) in prostate cancer across the U.S., one of which includes the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University’s Prostate Cancer SPORE.
