Abstract:
Charles-Emile Troisier's research concerning the enlarged left supraclavicular lymph node and its connection not only with gastric carcinoma but also with several other abdominal malignancies contributed to the diagnosis of cancer during the last part of the 19th century. Troisier's name is connected along with that of his German colleague Rudolf Virchow (1821-1902) concerning the development of modern pathology.
