She received the award and gave an honorary lecture during PCF's 32nd Annual Scientific Retreat in Carlsbad, California.

Dr. Hussain was chosen for this award based on her extraordinary career in prostate cancer research, profound impact on patients and mentorship of the next generation of prostate cancer researchers.

Her groundbreaking research, supported by several PCF awards and grants, has greatly improved the treatment and management of patients with both metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer and castration-resistant prostate cancer. A dedicated educator and mentor, she leads the Genitourinary Cancer Program at Lurie Cancer Center, where she ensures the next generation of prostate cancer researchers drive innovation with the same fierce dedication to patients and families.
