Hilário de Gouvêa (1843-1929) was a Brazilian ophthalmologist noted for being the first person to document a case of hereditary cancer. [1] The cause of the recessive familial retinoblastoma he described was later further investigated and resulted in the first reported example of a tumor suppressor gene, Retinoblastoma protein.
