In honor of Dr. Donald S. Coffey – Prostate cancer biology and therapy

摘要

This special issue of the Asian Journal of Urology (AJU ) is dedicated to Donald S. Coffey, Ph.D. who passed away on Nov. 9, 2017. Dr. Coffey, professor at Johns Hopkins University, made monumental impacts on the advancement of urological research and the lives of people around him in and out of the urological research community. Dr. Coffey played an essential role in the Society for Basic Urologic Research (SBUR) as a devoted member and former president. We have collected 11 articles written by former students, trainees, fellows and colleagues of Dr. Coffey that cover a wide range of topics considered to be of prime interest to Dr. Coffey, which include the genetics, diagnosis, and treatment of advanced prostate cancer (PCa).
