Jan (Johann, Johannes) Mikulicz-Radecki’s cancer surgery in Krakow times

Jan (Johann) Mikulicz-Radecki (1850-1905) was one of the most illustrious surgeons in the history of medicine, and eponyms in modern medicine bearing his name are still numerous. In this paper we present only a small part of his achievements, focusing on oncological aspects and narrowing our investigation to the period of 1882-1887, when Mikulicz was a professor in the Medical Faculty of Jagiellonian University, in Krakow.
