威廉·斯图尔特·霍尔斯特德是美国外科手术的先驱，做出了许多广泛的贡献，包括乳腺癌的手术治疗。他改变了外科医生的培训，从一个混乱的学徒到今天使用的住院医师培训计划。霍尔斯特德的研究使人们更好地理解了可手术治疗的疾病，并提出了许多新的技术和手术。在40年的职业生涯中，从纽约开始，一直到巴尔的摩的约翰霍普金斯大学医院，他在研究过程中偶然染上了毒瘾，经历了一场可怕的斗争。尽管如此，他对医学和人类健康的遗产是历史上任何一位外科医生留下的最伟大的遗产之一，今天仍然是一种灵感。
William Stewart Halsted was a pioneer of surgery in the USA and made many wide-ranging contributions, including the surgical treatment of breast cancer. He changed the training of surgeons from a disorganised apprenticeship to the residency training programmes used today. Halsted's research developed a better understanding of surgically amenable disease and a multitude of new techniques and operations. Over a 40-year career, beginning in New York and continuing at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore, he endured a terrible struggle resulting from an accidental addiction, acquired in the course of his research. Despite this, his legacy to medicine and human health is one of the greatest left by any individual surgeon in history and remains an inspiration today.
