Overview
Medullary thyroid cancer was first discovered by Dr. John Beach Hazard, an American pathologist, in 1959.
Historical Perspective
- In 1959, Dr. Hazard described medullary (solid) thyroid carcinoma.[1][2]
- In 1961, Dr. Sipple described a combination of a pheochromocytoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma, and parathyroid adenoma.
- In 1966, Dr. Williams proposed the C-cells as the origin of medullary thyroid cancer.[3]
- In 1966, Dr. Pearse proposed the name C-cell indicating their function in calcitonin secrestion.[4]
- In 1978, Dr. Cameron suggested that medullary thyroid cancer produces thyrocalcitonin from parafollicular cells.
