Question:
When was the first cancer treatment discovered using "modern" medicine?
Modern in this sense means from 1850 to the present.
Answers:
Well, the most common treatements for cancer are Surgery, Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, Immunotherapy, and Monoclonal Antibody Therapy.
Surgery has been around basically FOREVER, so I'm assuming that's not a "modern" method.
I would say that it's when Marie and Pierre Curie discovered Radiation at the end of the 19th century. This was the first effective non-surgical cancer treatment.
Chemotherapy didn't begin until the 1940s.
