Who discovered ovarian cancer?
I haven't seen anything on ovarian cancer discovery specifically, but there's an interesting History of Cancerpage on the Medicine World website. It talks about cancer having been around since ancient Egypt, and it traces a bit of the general history and treatment of cancer.
There's also an interesting page about the History of the Division of Gynecologic Pathology on the Johns Hopkins Pathology website that talks about the Gynecologic Pathology Laboratory at their hospital, beginning in 1893. That gives us a glimpse of recent history, anyway.
Any readers know more about the specifics of ovarian cancer discovery?
