A year of transformative progress
UT Health San Antonio's Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long School of Medicine Dean Robert Hromas, MD, identifies four areas of focus of the Mays Cancer Center in its quest to end cancer for communities in South Texas and beyond.
Cancer Treatments
Cancer Treatments
The provision of patient-centered care
The Mays Cancer Center is exploring holistic therapies and approaches in comprehensive evidence-based prevention, treatment and patient recovery, and expanding services and programs to address the specific needs of patients and family members at each stage of cancer care.
Biomarker development for predicting immune checkpoint therapy efficacy of hepatocellular carcinoma (CTMS# 22-0050)
We propose to test whether H1 and H2 clustering can distinguish patients responsive or resistant to the combination therapy with immunotherapy in a prospective clinical study.
Kidney Cancer Surgery
The South Texas community experiences unusually high rates of kidney cancer. At Mays Cancer Center, home to UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center, you can access national kidney cancer expertise, close to home. Our surgeons are experts at performing highly technical procedures to treat early and late-stage kidney cancers precisely. A team of skilled specialists (led by a urologic cancer surgeon, vascular surgeon and cardiac surgeon) consults on tumor thrombus surgery to treat cancer that has spread to the major veins.
Pluvicto
UT Health San Antonio offers a revolutionary therapy for prostate cancer called Pluvicto®. We are one of the only centers in South Texas to offer this innovative treatment, providing new hope for advanced prostate cancer patients.
