Title
Longitudinal Prostate cancer prediction
Summary
We will develop a model that includes a time-to-event outcome. We will apply this model to prostate cancer detection within prospective study of a multi-ethnic cohort of >50,000 men without prostate cancer followed over the years. Biomarkers were measured along with clinical predictors of prostate cancer risk such as ethnicity, family history, and age. If the operating characteristics are adequate we will add the new method to a risk-assessment tool.
Aims
1a: Multivariate modeling of clinic visit data, with time-to-cancer detection will better predict than current methods.
2a. Extend to this model to multivariate modeling of related preclinical data so that we can can best characterize the effects of drugs on the aging process.
