Historical Perspective

  • In 1895, the first rigid sigmoidoscope was developed at Hopkins by Kelly.[1]
  • In 1927, Lockhart-Mummery and Dukes recognized the precancerous changes in the rectum and colon and identified the staging system for colorectal cancer.[2]
  • In 1960, Hertz and Deddish reported using sigmoidoscopy to screen colorectal cancer with 90% survival rate followed for over 15 years.[1]
  • In 1967, Greegor used guaiac card test to detect early-stage colorectal cancer.[3]
  • In 1973, Wolff and Shinya used colonoscopy to remove polyps.[4]
  • In 1993, the polyp-cancer sequence was accepted by the National Polyp Study.[5]
