This collaborative research program with the Walter Reed Army Medical Center will increase our understanding of the molecular aberrations associated with gynecologic carcinogenesis and the biologic mechanism(s) underlying the influences of hormones and other epigenetic influences on cancer risk and help to develop improved strategies for the early detection, prevention, and treatment of gynecologic cancer.

Development of highly effective diagnostic, prevention, and treatments for gynecologic tumors would achieve significant benefits within the military, including reductions in the financial costs and morbidity associated with cancer treatment as well as the attendant disruption to active units associated with development of this cancer in either enlisted women or close relatives of enlisted men.
