Meeting report: innovations in prostate cancer research.

The incidence of prostate cancer has increased with serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening. Although organ-confined prostate cancer can be cured by surgery and/or radiation therapy, metastatic disease cannot. Androgen ablation in this setting has long been recognized as effective, but tumors almost invariably relapse over time; unfortunately, outcome of patients with metastatic androge...

Research Topics

1.A. General description. The proposed research problems concern the aspects of lattice point configurations that are relevant to combinatorial commutative algebra, toric geometry and discrete geometry. Many important special cases of these problems are amenable to algorithmic/computer aided research. They do not require a sophisticated background. Moreover, a nontrivial experimental finding ma...
