This is a historical timeline of the development and progress of cancer treatments, which includes time of discovery, progress, and approval of the treatments.


Video Timeline of cancer treatment development



Ancient Era

Cancer was traditionally treated with surgery, herbal (chemical), immune, and ablation therapies throughout history.

  • 2600 BC  - Bacterial immunotherapy utilized by Egyptian pharaoh Imhotep who had a poultice, followed by incision, to facilitate the development of infection in the desired location and cause regression of the tumour.
  • BC  - Ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians used heat and thermal ablation to treat masses. Medical practitioners in ancient India used regional and whole-body hyperthermia as treatments.
  • 2 AD  - Ancient Greeks describe surgical treatment of cancer.

Coley's immunotherapy treatment, regressed tumors in hundreds of cases, the success of Coley's Toxins attracted heavy resistance from his rival and boss, Dr. Ewing, who was a fanatical supporter of radiation therapy for cancer.
