Synopsis

This book, first published in 1829, is an examination of the then-current medical theories and treatments for breast cancer. The author, a prominent physician of his day, advocates for the experimental use of compression as a means of slowing tumor growth and reducing pain. Through detailed case studies the author builds his case that this method of treatment should be considered alongside surgery and internal medications. While the author's approach is considered outdated by today's medical standards, this book remains a valuable look into the development of oncology in the early 19th century.
