The Prostate Cancer Genetic Research Study (PROGRESS)is a nationwide research project exploring why some families have several male relatives with prostate cancer.

Discovering the inherited genes for prostate cancer in families and how they work will hopefully provide new clues to help diagnose, treat, cure, and even prevent prostate cancer in future generations.

The Prostate Cancer Genetic Research Study is being conducted by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington.

This research is made possible by funding from the National Cancer Institute and the National Institutes of Health, with additional support from CaP CURE and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
