A study co-led by @bsabari found that a gene fusion drives rare kidney cancer (tRCC) by forming protein clusters that disrupt gene activity. This may also occur in other cancers, revealing a potential new target for future therapies. #KidneyCancer #utsw.

Drs. Rajaram and @PayalKapur5 of the Kidney Cancer Program, co-led a groundbreaking @NatureComms study using AI to predict which patients with clear-cell kidney cancer will benefit from anti-angiogenic therapy. A major step toward more accessible precision medicine!👏.
Congratulations to Satwik Rajaram @PayalKapur5 on @NatureComms report of a DL AI tool to evaluate angiogenesis in #RCC @KCPUTSW @utswcancer @utswpath .
