Emil Herman Grubbé (1875–1960) with special reference to priority for X-ray cancer therapy
dostęp otwarty
Streszczenie
The American scientist Emil Herman Grubbé (1875–1960) in Chicago, claimed to be the first to treat cancer with X-rays. However, there is some doubt about this claim as essential case history documentation in 1896 does not now exist. This brief biography describes Grubbé’s claim to be the world’s first radiation oncologist: treating a breast cancer patient. Reference is also given to the first use of X-ray therapy for pain relief. This was performed by Victor Despeignes (1866–1937) in Lyon, July 1896. X-ray therapy for pain relief was also administered by a Dr Voigt in November 1896 in Hamburg to a patient with cancer of the pharynx. The first verifiable priority claim for X-ray therapy was in Stockholm and can be credited to two general practitioners. Tage Sjögren (1859–1939) and Thor Stenbeck (1864–1914).
