Overview
Retinoblastoma was first described in 1809 by Dr. James Wardrop. Then, Dr. Flexner, in 1891, was the first to discover the rosette structure within the tumor.In 1953, Dr. Kupfer was the first ophthalmologist who tried a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy for the treatment of the tumor.
Historical Perspective
- In 1657, Dr. Petrus Pawius, an anatomist from Amsterdam, described a tumor resembling retinoblastoma for the first time.[1]
- In 1767, Dr. Hayes, a surgeon, was first to describe the bilateral form of retinoblastoma.
- In 1809, Dr. James Wardrop, Scottish surgeon, an ophthalmologist, first described the retinoblastoma tumor.
- In 1971, Dr. Knudson proposed the two-hit hypothesis which gives the light to the pathogenesis of the familial and sporadic form of the tumor.[2]
- In 1891, Dr. Flexner was the first to discover the rosette structure within the tumor.[1]
- In 1920s Verhoeff claimed that the tumor arose from embryonic retinal cells and hence proposed the name "retinoblastoma".
- Retinoblastoma was first cancer in which the role of genetics discovered.[3]
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- In 1851, Mr. Helmholtz invented ophthalmoscope, with which the study of tumor became more possible.[1]
- Dr. James Wardrop was also the first who proposed the idea that early enucleation of the eye might save the life of the patient.
- Dr. William Mackenzie of Glasgow was the first who suggested a less painful method for the enucleation of the eye.
- In 1903, Dr. Hilgartner, was the first who tried to treat the tumor via x-ray.
- In 1953, Dr. Kupfer was the first ophthalmologist who tried a combination of chemotherapy (a nitrogen mustard agent intravenously) and radiotherapy for the treatment of the tumor.
