Research Interests
Dr. Roderick Clark has published numerous peer-reviewed manuscripts related to the epidemiology, genetics and clinical management of Urologic cancers. He has a research interest in prostate cancer and how we can better identify and treat individuals who are at high-risk of dying from this disease. His research also focuses on changing population-level trends in Urologic cancers using large administrative databases.
