It is a medical specialty that involves the treatment of malignant and benign tumors by the app lication of ionizing radiation. A medical student, Emil H. Grubbe, together with a physician friend treated an advanced case of breast cancer with x-ray on January 19, 1896. He continued his research but eventually contracted skin cancer and lost his left hand. By 1899, the first cancer, a basal cell epithelioma, has been cured by radiation. The initial responses observed in the treatment of skin and other superficial tumors generated the hope that a cure for cancer had officially been found. This hope was soon followed by a wave of disappointment and doubt when tumor recurrences and injuries to normal tissues began to appear. The treatments often involved single massive exposures aimed at the eradication of tumors, and the patients who survived the immediate post irradiation often developed major complications. Because of this disappointing result, the use of x-rays to treat tumors would soon have been abandoned had it not been for laboratory and clinical work by Claud Regaud and Henri Coutard . They found that by administering fractionated doses of radiation (smaller doses rather than a large single does), they could achieve the same tumor response but without serious injury to adjacent normal tissues. The clinical pioneers in radiation therapy, mostly surgeons and dermatologists, used the " erythema d ose," or radiation dose necessary
