Overview
In 1811, the first thyroid cancer case was reported. Thyroid cancer was first described by William Stewart Halsted, an American surgeon in the late nineteenth century.
Discovery
- The most evident sign of thyroid pathology is goiter, which used to be referred to bronchocoele.
- In 1656, Thomas Wharton named the gland the “thyroid,” referring to its shield-like shape.
- In 1811, Bernard Courtois discovered iodine and in 1813, W. Prout used iodine to treat thyroid goiter.
- In 1835, James Graves provided the primary description of exophthalmic goiter.
- In 1833, Allan Burns and Gaspard Bayle distinguished thyroid cancer from goiter.[1]
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- 1884, thyroidectomies were performed successfully for thyroid disorders.
- Theodore Kocher (1841-1917) was considered as an expert in thyroidectomies in Switzerland.
- Charles Horace Mayo was considered as an expert in thyroidectomies in United States.
