Interest Statement:
Dr. Levine is co-director of our Colon Cancer Prevention Program. The program focuses on the cause and risks for colon cancer, the earliest changes that lead to polyps or cancer and the prevention of cancer. The program includes over twenty members of the basic research and clinical faculty that have expertise in the scientific basis for increased risk for colon cancer and the care of all colon cancer patients or patients and families at risk. Many of the diagnostic and therapeutic services are unique within the State or nation and the program is partnered with the Mayo Clinic and the National Cancer Institute in the first effort to prevent the development of colon cancer.
