2. • Breast cancer may be one of the oldest known forms of cancerous
tumors in humans.
• The oldest description of cancer was discovered in Egypt and dates
back to approximately 1600 BC. The Edwin Smith Papyrus
describes 8 cases of tumors or ulcers of the breast that were treated
by cauterization.
• The French surgeon Jean Louis Petit (1674–1750) and later the
Scottish surgeon Benjamin Bell (1749–1806) were the first to
remove the lymph nodes, breast tissue, and underlying chest
muscle .
• Their successful work was carried on by William Stewart Halsted
who started performing mastectomies in 1882
• The first case-controlled study on breast cancer epidemiology was
done by Janet Lane-Claypon, who published a comparative study in
1926 of 500 breast cancer cases and 500 control patients of the
same background and lifestyle for the British Ministry of Health

have been established by the College of American Pathologists
