Topol, MD, Director, Scripps Translational Science Institute, Chief Academic Officer, Scripps Health and Professor of Genomics, The Scripps Research Institute; Author, The Creative Destruction of Medicine "An intriguing story of how strong financial interests can trump weak data. And it goes well beyond the usual suspect - the manufacturer of the PSA test - to those who gain from more prostate cancer treatments and from cleaning up the resulting mess." --H. Gilbert Welch MD, MPH, author of Overdiagnosed: Making People Sick in the Pursuit of Health "The Great Prostate Hoax is the answer to my prayers, finally getting the message out to millions of men in jeopardy of undergoing unnecessary and debilitating treatments.
