Overview

Prostate cancer was first described in 1536 by Niccolò Massa. In 1983, radical retropubic prostatectomy was first developed by Patrick Walsh to treat prostate cancer. In 1941, the first use of estrogen was developed by Charles B. Huggins to oppose testosterone production in men with metastatic prostate cancer. In the early 20th, radiation therapy was first developed to treat prostate cancer. In the 1970s, systemic chemotherapy was first studied to treat prostate cancer.

Discovery

Although the prostate was first described by Venetian anatomist Niccolò Massa in 1536, and illustrated by Flemish anatomist Andreas Vesalius in 1538, prostate cancer was not identified until 1853.[1]
