Overview
Medullary thyroid cancer was first discovered by John Beach Hazard, an American pathologist, in 1959.[1]
Historical Perspective
- In 1959, Hazard et al. described medullary (solid) thyroid carcinoma.[2]
- In 1961, Sipple described a combination of a pheochromocytoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma, and parathyroid adenoma.
- In 1966, Williams et al. described the combination of mucosal neuromas, pheochromocytoma, and medullary thyroid carcinoma.
- In 1978, Cameron suggested that medullary thyroid cancer produces thyrocalcitonin from parafollicular cells.
Discovery
Medullary thyroid cancer was first discovered by John Beach Hazard, an American pathologist, in 1959 following a specimen he observed which had solid non-follicular structure with amyloid in the stroma.[1]
