Dr. Young was a visionary of the field: Long before the importance of early detection was widely known, he advocated for screening. He developed novel techniques to remove cancer and was among the first to use radiation therapy to treat urological diseases. With the help of one grateful patient, James Buchanan Brady, Dr. Young created the country’s first dedicated urological research hospital. As the Director of Urology at the Johns Hopkins Hospital from 1907 to 1942 he transformed the field of urology from an outpatient diagnostic field to one of major surgery.
