Richard J. Ablin

Richard J. Ablin is a professor of pathology and the discoverer of the PSA (prostate-specific antigen) molecule in 1970.

He has spent decades advocating for the proper use of PSA testing and warning against its overuse in prostate cancer screening.

Ablin is critical of the prostate cancer industry's profit-driven approach and has worked to educate the public about the limitations and potential harms of PSA testing.

His expertise in the field and firsthand knowledge of PSA's discovery give him unique authority on the subject.

Ablin's work extends beyond this book, including writing a widely-read New York Times column and producing a documentary on the topic.
