C A N C E R P R E V E N T I O N A N D C O N T R O L P R O G R A M HIGHLIGHTS/DISCOVERIES • Cancer control research—The Institute for Women’s Health has an active cancer control research program. Dr. Twiggs, Timothy De Santis, M.D., and Nahida Chakhtoura, M.D., have been collaborating with two medical device companies utilizing spectroscopic measures in cervical precursors in an effort to diagnose and prevent cervical cancer. This collaboration in an Institutional Review Board (IRB)- approved research setting resulted in the evaluation of more than 300 women with abnormal Pap smears in three separate clinical research protocols. JAMES D. WILKINSON, M.D., M.P.H. Associate Professor of Epidemiology and Public Health DESCRIPTION OF RESEARCH Dr. Wilkinson’s research focuses on epidemiological studies of cancer examining differential cancer risks among U.S. Hispanics for both adults and children. The results of this research are intended to better inform cancer control and prevention efforts in Florida among various subpopulations. Currently, Dr. Wilkinson is part of a collaborative team, led by investigators from the International Agency for Research on Cancer, to study prostate cancer genetics in Cuban men, comparing populations from Havana and Miami. An application for project funding to the NCI is planned for 2004. SELECTED PUBLICATIONS 2002 Wilkinson, JD, Wohler-Torres, B, Trapido, E, Fleming, LE, MacKinnon, J, Voti, L, and Peace, S.
