A note from history: Landmarks in history of cancer, part 5

“…It is perhaps important to remember that many of the so‐called first cases and series of cases were often reported by physicians who were not distinguished, and the authors are often forgotten. Some of the most remarkable first reports were: preinvasive carcinoma (carcinoma in situ) of the uterus,89 metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma,90 parosteal sarcoma,37 thymic tumors in association with myasthenia gravis,91 primitive neuroectodermal tumor,92 follicular lymphoma,93 oat cell carcinoma of the lung,94 malignant meningioma,95 microinvasive duct carcinoma of the breast,96 pleural mesothelioma,97 malignant melanoma of the eye,98 carcinoma of the bladder,99 primary lung carcinoma,100 biphasic and monophasic synovial sarcoma,101 chordoid tumor of the palm,102 extramammary Paget's disease,103 Ewing's sarcoma of soft tissues,104 and classification tumors of the testis 105…”

“…On rare occasions, the radiation was given prior to surgery to the tumor‐bearing area 196. Some of the other first attempts at radiation therapy were treatment of carcinomas of the prostate,172, 197, 198 bladder,99, 172, 197 esophagus,199 thyroid,159, 200 pharynx and larynx,201, 202 rectum and anus,203 as well as metastases,179, 204 leukemia,205‐207 Hodgkin's disease,107 non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma,93 brain tumors,80 and sarcomas 152, 177, 208…”
