Kettering Prize, sponsored by General Motors Corporation, for “The Most Outstanding Recent Contributions to the Treatment of Cancer.” Dr. Walsh is a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, he serves on the editorial board of the New England Journal of Medicine, and for his 25 years of contributions as editor-in-chief of Campbell’s Textbook of Urology the book has been renamed Campbell-Walsh. Dr. Walsh is a University Distinguished Service Professor of Urology.
