Breast cancer has been a companion to mankind since prehistory. The accounts on targeted medical treatment, however, are much younger. From our present-day perspective, the complete surgical removal of a breast tumour represents the most effective therapy when combined with anaesthesia and antisepsis. This was not the case in the past.

From our present-day perspective, the complete surgical removal of a breast tumour represents the most effective therapy when combined with anaesthesia and antisepsis. This was not the case in the past.
