Timeline of cancer treatment development

This is a historical timeline of the development and progress of cancer treatments, which includes time of discovery, progress, and approval of the treatments.

Ancient Era

Cancer was traditionally treated with surgery, heat, or herbal (chemical) therapies.

  • 2600 BC   Egyptian physician Imhotep diagnosed several types of tumour and therapies for them. According to the Ebers medical papyrus, hard tumours were treated by placing a poultice near the tumour, followed by local incision.[1]
  • BC   Ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians used heat to treat masses. Healers in ancient India used regional and whole-body hyperthermia as treatments.[2]
  • 2 AD   Ancient Greeks describe surgical treatment of cancer.[3][4]

Modern Era

1800s

  • 1820s   British Dr. James Arnott, "the father of modern cryosurgery", starts to use cryotherapy to freeze tumours in the treatment of breast and uterine cancers[5]
  • 1880s   American Dr. William Stewart Halsted develops radical mastectomy for breast cancer[4]
  • 1890s   German Dr. Westermark used localized hyperthermia to produce tumour regression in patients
  • 1891   American Dr. William B. Coley, "the father of immunotherapy", starts to treat cancer patients by injecting them with streptococci, containing immunostimulatory CpG motifs[6][7]
  • 1896   French Dr. Victor Despeignes, "the father of radiation therapy", starts to use X-rays to treat cancer[8]
  • 1896   American Dr. Emil Grubbe starts to treat breast cancer patients with X-rays[4]
  • 1896 Sir George Thomas Beatson invented hormonal treatment of breast cancer by bilateral ovary removal in women with inoperable breast cancer.

According to Littrup et al., who performed cryoablation of breast tumors in clinical stages I-IV with a multi-probe freeze approach, isotherms within cryozones can be accurately controlled and such cryoablation enables the destruction of much bigger lesions, up to 7 cm in diameter (15)Tarkowski, R; Rzaca, M (2014).

  28. Tamoxifen was born into a world of indifference in the '60s, when the focus of the research was on contraception. It grew up in the 70s, in a world where chemotherapy was king and hormonal therapies were perceived as non-starters in the quest to cure cancer.Jordan, V Craig (2000). "Tamoxifen: a personal retrospective" (PDF). The Lancet Oncology. 1 (1): 43–49. doi:10.1016/S1470-2045(00)00009-7. PMID 11905688.

  35. In 1997, a patient with osteosarcoma was first successfully treated with ultrasound imaging-guided HIFU in Chongqing, China. Over the last decade, thousands of patients with uterine fibroids, liver cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, bone tumors, and renal cancer have been treated with ultrasound imaging-guided HIFU. Based on several research groups’ reports, as well as our ten-year clinical experience, we conclude that this technique is safe and effective in treating human solid tumors.Zhang, Lian; Wang, Zhi-Biao (2010).
