Overview
Dr. Charles Brenton Huggins (September 22, 1901 – January 12, 1997) was a Canadian-born American physician and physiologist and cancer researcher at the University of Chicago specializing in prostate cancer. He and Peyton Rous were awarded the 1966 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for discovering that hormones could be used to control the spread of some cancers. This was the first discovery that showed that cancer could be controlled by chemicals.
Dr. Huggins was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. He graduated from Acadia University with a BA in 1920. He then went on to study at Harvard University and received his MD in 1924. He died in Chicago, Illinois.
