title: How Charles Huggins made his Nobel prize winning discovery--in his own words: an historic audio recording. Interviewed by Willard Goodwin and Elmer Bell.
abstract: On February 12, 1962, 4 years before he was awarded the Nobel Prize, Charles Huggins gave an informal interview to Dr. Willard Goodwin and co-workers at UCLA on how he made one of the greatest discoveries in our field-hormonal therapy for prostate cancer. In this fascinating story, he tells how he transformed the investigation of what causes a hydrocele into a Nobel Prize winning discovery.
