Aaron Goodman: He surgically placed under his skin, a lymph node from a patient with cancer

Aaron Goodman shared a post on his X/Twitter page:

Dr. Nicholas Senn – an inquisitive surgeon! In 1901, Dr. Senn investigated if cancer was contagious. He surgically placed under his skin, a lymph node from a patient with cancer. After 2 weeks, the lymph node started to fade. Senn concluded that cancer is not contagious.”
