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. Prostate 72:1718–1718, 2012. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
