We meet the Active Surveillor | Howard Wolinsky

There are patient advocates and there are patient advocates, and then there is Howard Wolinsky! We chat with the inimitable Howard, medical journalist and very long-time active surveillance patient, about his varied interests in low-risk prostate cancer and prostate cancer diagnostics. He runs a great substack called The Active Surveillor with a regular newsletter which we devour every week! l His current interests are in the abolition of transrectal prostate biopsy and the campaign to re-name grade group 1/Gleason 6 cancer as a non-cancer. We chat about all this and more, including that unforgettable appearance he made at the ASCO GU Plenary session!
