Dr. Cushman Haagensen practiced as a surgeon at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in NYC for fifty years specializing in the area of breast diseases. He wrote three editions of his classic textbook Diseases of the Breast, the last edition being published in 1986. He was one of the first physicians to develop a clinical classification system for breast cancer. He showed that the use of Halstedian surgical technique for mastectomy resulted in long term cures, and that the chance of long term cures in the treatment of breast cancer related to the stage at which the disease could be detected.Haagensen, C. D. is the author of 'Hundred Years of Medicine' with ISBN 9781587980879 and ISBN 1587980878.
