- Title
Treatment of Gynecologic Cancers: From Haisted to the 21st Century.
- Authors
Duska, Linda R.; Russell, Anthony H.
- Abstract
The authors reflect on the theory of Gynecologic Cancer treatment, developed by William Stewart Halsted in 1882. They argue that the evolution of surgical therapy operation has become significantly pathologic and presents a surgical innovation that withdrew from Halsted's concept. Moreover, they comment that sustained study on alternative surgical therapy to cancer treatment will result in better outcomes rather than being attached from the past theory.
