Book Description
Excerpt from The American Gynecological Journal, 1891, Vol. 1: A Monthly Journal of Gynecology, Obstetrics and Abdominal Surgery It has not been many years since it was thought that cancer of the uterus always began at some point on the cervix, with the tendency of the disease to extend to the fundus. Schroeder was one of the strongest champions of this theory, and, couse quently, of high amputation. Since the promulgation of Schroe der's theory others have taken the ground that with the primary cancer of the cervix, it is but a question of short time until the entire uterine globe, with its surrounding tissues, will be in volved. They also claim that none but a non-cancerous womb should be subjected to the risks of pregnancy. The present mode of dealing with mammary carcinoma is, the earliest possible diagnosis, followed immediately by total extirpation of the glands, along with the axillary glands. It is not claimed that all Operated on, in this wise, recover, but those dying even, have a more comfortable lease of life with undoubted prolongation.
