Catching cancer early is the key to improving survival rates. That's why UT Southwestern's Moncrief Cancer Institute is providing free cancer screenings across Texas to people who are uninsured or underinsured.
UT Southwestern is one of the first centers using robotic bronchoscopy as a diagnostic tool for deep lung lesions that previously were difficult to access without surgery.
