Y1 - 2010 N1 - T2 - Kuerer's Breast Surgical Oncology AB - The first mammogram was performed in 1913 by Albert Salomon, a surgeon in Berlin, using a standard x-ray machine on an excised breast and axilla. Dr. Salomon wanted to show that the cancer spread to the axillary lymph nodes from the breast. Unfortunately, Dr. Salomon's work was cut short by political turmoil in Germany, and we do not hear of radiographs of breast specimens again until 1927 when another German surgeon, Otto Kleinschmidt, describes a technique for imaging the breast that he attributed to his mentor, the plastic surgeon Dr. Erwyn Payr.
