Discovery

  • The oldest evidence of cancer is discovered in the Egyptian literature and dates back to about 3000 BC. The textbook is called the 'Edwin Smith Papyrus' and describes 8 cases of tumors of the breast that were removed by cauterization with a tool called the fire drill. The writing says about the disease, “There is no treatment.”[1]

Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies

  • In 1761, Giovanni Morgagni of Padua became the first to perform an autopsy to relate the illness to the pathology.
  • The Scottish surgeon John Hunter (1728-1793) suggested that cancer could be removed if tumor had not invaded nearby tissue and was 'moveable'.
  • In 1700s, John Hunter, the Scottish surgeon suggested that tumors grow from lymph constantly thrown out by the blood.
