Goodman was known as the discoverer of the first effective anticancer chemotherapy and was the co-creator of the classic textbook "Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics", co-written with colleague Alfred Z. Gilman, Ph.D. In cancer chemotherapy, the first effective drug was nitrogen mustard. In 1946, the government gave Dr. Goodman's team permission to publish the first paper on the use of nitrogen mustard in cancer treatment. Nitrogen mustard became a model for the discovery of other classes of anticancer drugs, and chemotherapy went on to become a standard treatment for many cancers, often in combination with surgery and radiation. The UT Southwestern Archives has a small collection of Dr. Goodman's papers that are related to his work on the textbook "Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics".}, url = {http://utsw.tind.io/record/781}, }
