Surgery
Ancient physicians and surgeons knew that cancer would usually come back after it was removed by surgery.
The Roman physician Celsus wrote, "After excision, even when a scar has formed, none the less the disease has returned.“
Galen’s (2nd-century) considered the patient incurable after a diagnosis of cancer had been made. Galen did write about surgical cures for breast cancer if the tumor could be completely removed at an early stage.
John Hunter, Astley Cooper, and John Warren achieved lasting acclaim for their swift and precise surgery.
William Stewart Halsted developed the radical mastectomy during the last decade of the 19th century.
Stephen Paget drew an analogy between cancer metastasis and seeds that "are carried in all directions, but they can only live and grow if they fall on congenial soil.“
Less invasive surgical techniques are being studied and/or used. Cryosurgery (also called cryotherapy or cryoablation) is a surgical technique being studied to treat localized prostate cancer by freezing the cells with a metal probe. It is less invasive than radical prostatectomy, so there is less blood loss, a shorter hospital stay, a shorter recovery period, and less pain than radical surgery.
