From The Oncologist - Breast Cancer: A Tale of Two Centuries

In 1825, London insurance actuary Benjamin Gompertz theorized that
biological growth, whether of normal organs or malignancies , follows a common
curve. He postulates that "self-
metastasis" is responsible for small clumps of cell growth that comprise a
tumor, each clump following the Gompertzian initial rapid growth prior to
distant metastasis.
"It is an honor to be elected by the Academy," says Edelsbrunner.
