Timeline of cancer treatment development

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a historical timeline of the development and progress of cancer treatments, which includes time of discovery, progress, and approval of the treatments.

Ancient Era

[edit]

Cancer was traditionally treated with surgery, heat, or herbal (chemical) therapies.

  • 2600 BC  – Egyptian physician Imhotep diagnosed several types of tumour and therapies for them. According to the Ebers medical papyrus, hard tumours were treated by placing a poultice near the tumour, followed by local incision.[1]
  • BC  – Ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians used heat to treat masses. Healers in ancient India used regional and whole-body hyperthermia as treatments.[2]
  • 2 AD  – Ancient Greeks describe surgical treatment of cancer.[3][4]

Modern Era

[edit]

1800s

[edit]
  • 1820s  – British Dr. James Arnott, "the father of modern cryosurgery", starts to use cryotherapy to freeze tumours in the treatment of breast and uterine cancers[5]
  • 1880s  – American Dr. William Stewart Halsted develops radical mastectomy for breast cancer[4]
  • 1890s  – German Dr. Westermark used localized hyperthermia to produce tumour regression in patients
  • 1891  – American Dr. William B. Coley, "the father of immunotherapy", starts to treat cancer patients by injecting them with streptococci, containing immunostimulatory CpG motifs[6][7]
  • 1896  – French Dr. Victor Despeignes, "the father of radiation therapy", starts to use X-rays to treat cancer[8]
  • 1896  – American Dr. Emil Grubbe starts to treat breast cancer patients with X-rays[4]
  • 1896 Sir George Thomas Beatson invented hormonal treatment of breast cancer by bilateral ovary removal in women with inoperable breast cancer.

It grew up in the 70s, in a world where chemotherapy was king and hormonal therapies were perceived as non-starters in the quest to cure cancer.Jordan, V Craig (2000).

Over the last decade, thousands of patients with uterine fibroids, liver cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, bone tumors, and renal cancer have been treated with ultrasound imaging-guided HIFU. Based on several research groups’ reports, as well as our ten-year clinical experience, we conclude that this technique is safe and effective in treating human solid tumors.Zhang, Lian; Wang, Zhi-Biao (2010).
