A note from history: the first printed case reports of cancer.
Antonio Benivieni, an Italian physician, Theophilus Boneti, a Swiss physician, and Giovanni Battista Mogagni, an Italian physician, pioneered postmortem examination for finding hidden causes of diseases. By correlating the results of their clinical and postmortem examinations, they established the foundation of anatomic pathology, clinical medicine, and oncology.
