Led by two UT Southwestern physicians, a team of researchers from 15 U.S. medical centers has performed the first analysis of a potentially game-changing drug to treat upper urinary tract urothelial cancers.

UT Southwestern researchers have identified the molecular function of 87 inherited genetic variants that affect the risk of prostate cancer, and the majority appear to control the activity of genes located far away from the risk variants themselves.

Research teams led by two UT Southwestern Medical Center faculty members have been selected to receive competitive awards from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s (HHMI) Emerging Pathogens Initiative (EPI).

UT Southwestern Medical Center is one of seven health systems in the nation being recognized for its leadership development initiatives, the latest in a series of national and regional employer honors.

UT Southwestern researchers have discovered a new form of progeria, a rare premature-aging syndrome, in a man from Malaysia and traced its cause to a novel gene mutation.

When McKinney real estate developer John Hill was 35, his father died of prostate cancer. The elder Mr. Hill had undergone surgery to remove his prostate a few years earlier, but the cancer had already spread.

Combat wounds to a soldier’s genital area are not as well understood as those to other parts of the body because of the intimate nature of the injuries.

On a Thursday morning in Dallas, Fiona Strasserking, M.D., chats with her UT Southwestern colleague while internal medicine residents from the University of Zambia log on to their Zoom call. Rafic Berbarie, M.D., Associate Professor in UTSW’s Division of Cardiology, is today’s guest lecturer and the

UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers identified a genetic mutation that slows the growth of melanoma and potentially other cancers by harnessing the power of the immune system. Their findings, published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, could lead to new treatments that improve outcomes

Genetic testing, which has expanded in recent years with advances in technology and the development of consumer products, is on a path to widespread acceptance in the U.S., researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center found.
