Special Issues in Breast Cancer History of Mastectomy before and after Halsted

چکیده
In the late 1890, William Halsted, the American surgeon who started the use of gloves in the operating room devised a new operation for breast cancer called radical mastectomy (RM). The operation was called “radical” because it involved, not only the removal of the breast, but also the lymph nodes and muscles. Despite the drawback of disfigurement, this operation was the standard procedure for almost 70 years, before it was challenged by less aggressive surgery.
