tecnologia. Mas ao longo do tempo, alguns medicos observaram que essas exposicoes mais intensas tambem causavam a destruicao dos tecidos e de lesoes cancerigenas.Paralelamente, a cientista Marie Curie em 1901 descobriu dois novos elementos quimicos com uma alta potencialidade de radiacao: Polonio e o Radio. Ao conseguir isolar a atuacao do radio, a francesa abriu espaco para que outros pesquisadores pudessem estudar em 1905, o poder do elemento para destruir celulas malformadas e destruir tumores malignos. O desenvolvimento de tubos de raios catodicos (1913) e geradores potentes (1921) conseguiram controlar a intensidade dos raios e possibilitar sua utilizacao segura. O crescimento do interesse cientifico de diversas areas pelo cancer propiciou a fundacao de inumeros centros especializados como o German Central Committe for Cancer Research na Alemanha (1900), Americam Assosciation for Cancer (1907) e o Instituto Radium de Paris (1919) - fundado pelo governo frances e pela Marie Curie. Com as novas politicas de paz implantadas apos o final da Primeira Guerra Mundial, os paises criaram diversas associacoes de saude e institutos especificos para a doenca com troca de conhecimentos entre eles acao que chegou a inspirar, por exemplo, o surgimento do INCA (Instituto Nacional do Cancer) no Brasil em 1948.

But it was the school of Hippocratic medicine in Greece (pioneers to separate the medicine of magic) who first defined the disease as a hard tumor that often reappear after excised. From this time until the sixteenth century, general knowledge of medicine believed that the disease was an imbalance of body fluids and / or an imbalance of the lymphatic system. Only in the eighteenth century, with studies of the Italian anatomist Giovanni Battista Morgagni added to the French physician Marie Francois Xavier Bichat, that cancer came to be understood differently. The Italian pathologist was responsible for characterizing cancer as a specific unit in a body part and Marie Bichat contributed to the understanding that the bodies were in different tissues that, in turn, were affected by different types of cancer. Also in this same period the doctor Joseph Claude Anthelme Recamier was the first to identify a case of metastasis caused by blood or lymphatic stream. In addition to the incipient advances in cellular research, it was only in 1860 that the disease has gained a new level with the advent of surgery, made
