Overview
Throughout the history many women experienced breast diseases but there were not any courage to express their problem to the public. In 1970s, all women with malignant breast lumps underwent radical mastectomy rather than performing previous biopsies. Although fine needle aspiration biopsy was introduce in 1930, it was used for breast lumps in 1950s. Breast ultrasound was used in 1950s and mammography was found in 1975 to diagnose early stages of breast cancers.
Historical Perspective
Discovery
- Breast cancer influenced women throughout the history; however, American women did not speak about the breast cancer till 20th century.[1]
- The American Society for the Control of Cancer (ASCC) established in 1913 with Elsie Mead and Marjorie Illigand leadership and changed to American Cancer Society in 1945.[2]
- Babette Rosmond and Shirley Temple Black who were both diagnosed with breast cancer wrote a book about finding right to decide for performing biopsy before other treatment for breast lumps.[3][4]
- Martin and Ellis introduce fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in 1930.[5]
- The Scandinavians used FNAB for diagnosis of palpable breast lumps in 1950s.[6]
- Mammography technique for detection of early stage of breast cancer has found over 80 years ago especially in 1975.[7][8]
- The first application for using breast sonography was in 1950. Wild and Neal explained acoustical findings of both benign and malignant breast tumor.[9]
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- In 1970, surgeons constantly did radical mastectomy for malignant breast lumps found on biopsies.[2]
- Radical mastectomy approach for breast lumps was first presented by George Crile.[3]
