Early attempts to physically describe cancer came from thinkers like Hippocrates (460-370 BC), who termed tumors karkinos, Greek for crab, based on the visual effect of its cut surface filled with “veins stretched on all sides as the crab has its feet.” Later, the understanding that cancer has the tendency to recur became known to the Roman physician Celsus (25 BC to 50 AD), who stated:“After excision, even when a scar has formed, nonetheless the disease has returned.” The early days of a surgical solution to cancer saw pioneers like John Hunter, Astley Cooper, and John Warren, who had to perform invasive operations quickly yet precisely given the lack general anesthesia until 1846. The next generation of surgeons, Bilroth (Germany), Handley (England), and Halsted (United States), developed cancer-specific operations. Their work, along with the collective efforts of the multidisciplinary community, continues to push the boundaries of our understanding and brings us to a new crossroad today.Modern cancer surgery has the unique and unprecedented capacity to go beyond technical aspects of removing the tumor, focusing simultaneously on the cancer’s biology and its morbidity. For example, while Halsted’s radical mastectomy certainly helped many patients suffering from breast cancer, later attempts to
