An often-forgotten figure in the history of chemotherapy is Yellapragada Subbarow, the Indian chemist who discovered aminopterin, a folic acid antagonist. Aminopterin became one of the first chemotherapy agents used by Sidney Farber in the 1940s to induce remission in children
@Vik_deshpandeMD @DanaFarber @BIDMCpath Dr. Sidney Farber was a prominent #PediPath giant, head of Pediatric Pathology at Boston Children’s Hospital, who promoted and tried chemotherapy treatment for leukemias. That was the beginning of a major medical breakthrough!

“Pen Test” confirming true psammoma body (PB) as opposed to thick colloid (or mucin). Gentle pressure on the cover slip with the tip of a pen while looking at the fragment under the scope will radially fracture a true PB (Thyroid, FNA, PTC). Same fragment, before/after the test.
