Urologic Cancer Research

Urologic cancer researchers study tumors that affect the urinary tract, including cancers of the kidney, bladder and prostate. The frequency of these types of cancer varies, depending on a person’s ethnic and racial background. At the Henry Ford Cancer, we’re working to understand these variations. Our goal is to use our skills in surgical treatment and genetic research to develop new ways to diagnose and treat urologic cancer.

We’ve built our research programs on close interaction between basic scientists (Ph.D.-educated scientists who work in the lab) and practicing clinicians (doctors who work directly with patients). Henry Ford patients receive expert care from the Vattikuti Urology Institute, our dedicated center for expertise in bladder, kidney, prostate and urinary conditions.

Our urologic cancer research

We are investigating urologic cancer treatments from genetic analysis through surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and pharmaceuticals (drugs).

Our urologic cancer research includes:

  • Prostate cancer diagnosis and planning:
    • Discovering molecular markers for early detection and prognosis of prostate cancer, and novel targets for prostate cancer treatment
    • Identifying RNA-based markers that can detect prostate cancer earlier and more accurately than currently possible
    • Determining whether markers of early prostate disease differ between African-American and European-American men
    • Identifying small molecules that can selectively disrupt calmodulin (calcium-modulated protein) interaction to break down the androgen receptor (androgens male hormones that help the prostate and most prostate tumors to grow)
    • Predicting prostate cancer outcomes in African-American men
    • Identifying markers of metastatic prostate cancer to distinguish patients with organ-confined disease versus metastatic disease at the time of radical prostatectomy (RP), based on long-term follow-up after RP
  • Prostate cancer treatment:
    • Using 5-lipoxygenase and the proteins involved in its metabolite-induced signaling pathway as novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of prostate cancer
    • Developing approaches to identify androgen receptor-interacting telomeric proteins that can be targeted for the treatment of prostate cancer
    • Understanding the molecular mechanisms of chemotherapy resistance and applying this knowledge to the care of patients with metastatic prostate cancer
    • Using oleanolic acid and ursolic acid (naturally occurring triterpenoids that have been used in traditional medicine as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anticancer agents) to treat prostate cancer
  • Other urologic cancer research:
    • Improving robotic surgical techniques for bladder and kidney cancer
    • Identifying and using biomarkers and genes for the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of bladder, kidney and prostate cancer
    • Developing and applying statistical methods for observational and correlated data, and quantitative synthesis of medical evidence

Spotlight: Prostate cancer genomic research

Our researchers are working to understand the genetic indications of prostate cancer -- the signs that a person’s cells may be more prone to developing a prostate tumor.

To investigate this question, our researchers are turning to the genome (a person’s complete set of DNA, including all genes). Genes are tiny strands of material in every cell that instruct cells how to behave. Scientists believe genes hold the “instructions” for certain kinds of cancer. As a result, people who carry specific genes may have a higher likelihood of experiencing that type of tumor, such as prostate cancer.

One important piece of the puzzle is knowing that different genetic groups of people have different gene markers that indicate a higher risk for prostate or other cancers. Now, we’re working to discover and understand those gene markers. Ultimately, we want to deliver individualized treatment, so that patients can have faster and more complete recoveries.

Ongoing genomic research for prostate cancer

Thanks to earlier research, we can take a sample of a tumor and analyze it to understand a person’s genetic background. Our ongoing work involves refining these techniques to help doctors identify prostate cancer -- and its associated risks -- more quickly and more accurately.

Our current research includes:

  • Personalized medicine: By identifying how tumors’ genetic markers align with certain types of tumors, we can prescribe more appropriate treatment, rather than trying the same standard treatment first on everyone. Treatments based on genetic markers received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for breast and lung cancer, for example. Learn more about our precision medicine cancer research.
  • Molecular markers: We’re working to identify new molecular markers so that we can divide types of prostate cancer into distinct groups. Then scientists can develop appropriate therapeutics (cancer-fighting drugs) to target those specific markers. Read more about our developmental therapeutics.
  • Prostate cancer markers in urine: Doctors can detect some genetic markers for prostate cancer without performing a biopsy, using an FDA-approved urine test. Now, researchers are working to refine urine tests so that the lab can determine the type of prostate cancer from those same genetic markers in urine. When we succeed, patients could have a noninvasive diagnosis and be able to begin the correct treatment immediately.
  • Tumor heterogeneity (differences among tumors): Many patients who have prostate cancer will have multiple tumors in a very small area. We are working to understand whether these individual tumors are identical at the molecular level. This research takes the identification and treatment of prostate cancer beyond the level of visual appearance. Eventually, understanding tumor heterogeneity will allow us to treat all tumors the first time, so that the cancer will be less likely to spread or metastasize after initial treatment. Through a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) grant, we also are studying the differences in the incidence and prevalence of these markers between European-American and African-American men. Read more about our grant-funded cancer research.
  • Prostate cancer in African-American men: To date, no one has studied in detail the incidence of prostate cancer markers in African-American populations. Since 2014, our researchers have discovered striking differences among European-American and African-American men who have genetic markers for prostate cancer. For example, one marker is present in 50 percent of European-American men, but tests find it in fewer than 20 percent of African-American men. Another marker that appears in only 10 percent of European-American men exists in up to 40 percent of African-American men. In particular, genetic markers associated with more aggressive prostate cancer are higher among African-American populations. If a doctor knows that a man is likely to have an aggressive type of cancer, the doctor may be able to recommend a more aggressive treatment right away -- potentially saving lives.

Urologic cancer research resources at Henry Ford

The urologic cancer program at the Henry Ford Cancer Institute includes investigators from the Vattikuti Urology Institute  and the Department of Surgery.

Our program also benefits from resources at Henry Ford including:

  • Prostate tissue biorepository: Our prostate tissue bank includes more than 10,000 vials of cancerous and adjacent normal prostate tissue specimens.
  • Robosurge database: Robosurge is a dedicated database of more than 5,000 robotic-assisted prostatectomy cases performed at our institution since 2001. This database contains patients' demographics, pre-operative health status, disease characteristics per biopsy and surgical specimen, and surgical parameters.

Get involved with urologic cancer research

You can participate in our urologic cancer research work, whether you are a researcher or a patient.

  • Find a clinical trial: We frequently conduct clinical trials and study tissue samples from prostate biopsies. A clinical trial may give you new treatment opportunities that aren’t yet widely available. Learn more about clinical trials.
  • Become a Henry Ford researcher: We may be accepting researchers to join our urologic cancer genetic research work. Join our research team.
  • Support urologic cancer research: Henry Ford’s Cancer Research Advisory Group (CRAG) provides funding and resources to help advance our research. Learn how you can support cancer research.
