description Ask most oncologists (especially radiation oncologists), and you may be hard pressed to find one who professes ignorance of Madame Curie and her historic contributions to medicine. Innumerable publications and media over the past century have correctly memorialised Madame Curie as one of the most brilliant minds in world history. However, do any of us really know the woman and the true extent of her sphere of influence? How, as well, does she fit into modern life and contemporary scientific advancement? Let us try to understand and learn from this complex scientist as more than just one of the most brilliant minds in human history.
