Definition
- AMERICAN ENDOCRINOLOGIST ELWOOD V. James was the winner of the Charles F. Kettering Prize of the General Motors Cancer Foundation in 1980 for “discovering the steroid receptor protein present in certain mammary cancers and for developing a method for determining which breast cancers were hormonally sensitive and thereby responsive to endocrine therapy.” Elwood Vernon Jensen was born January 13, 1920, in Fargo, North Dakota, the son of Eli A. and Vera Jensen (née Morris). His father, from Denmark, was the business manager of a college, and his mother was from North Dakota. [Source: Encyclopedia of Cancer and Society; Jensen, Elwood V.]
