Giovanni Battista Morgagni (1682-1771), an Italian anatomist, is considered the father of modern pathological anatomy. In his seminal work 'De Sedibus et Causis Morborum per Anatomen Indagatis' (On the Seats and Causes of Diseases Investigated by Anatomy), he meticulously documented over 700 autopsy cases, correlating the patient's symptoms during life with the pathological changes observed after death. This approach laid the scientific foundation for understanding diseases, including cancer, as localized to specific organs.
