FOUNDER OF THE BERGONIÉ FOUNDATION/BORDEAUX
JEAN ALBAN BERGONIÉ — 7 October 1857, Casseneuil - 20 January 1925, Bordeaux
Jean Alban Bergonié was a French physician and he is considered the founder of cancerology, together with Tribondeau.
In 1906, he issued a law which regulates the biological effects of radiation in the different tissues of the economy.
Born in a modest family, he completed his doctorate in medicine, worked as professor of medical physics at the age of 26, he became a distinguished researcher in the field of X radiation, and he was the scientist who ran the bases of the irradiation of malignant tumors, obtaining the first Chair of Medical Electricity in France.
He was the pioneer of war surgery and in 1898 he became interested in the use of X rays to localize projectiles, thus facilitating their extraction.
A tireless traveler, he organized the Egyptian Congress of Medicine in 1903.
He was the founder of the magazine "Archives of medical electricity," and was responsible for it for 32 years.
As from 1905, he cared for the protection against x-rays, although it did not consider it for himself.
In 1906, after studying the effects of ionizing radiation on mice, he established the law on the correlation between the fragility of cells to x-rays and their reproductive activity, which demonstrated that the radiosensitivity of a cell is directly proportional to its capacity of division and inversely proportional to its degree of differentiation; this lay is still applicable and is the foundation of all radiobiology principles.
In 1914, during the World War II, he served in the medical-surgical hospitals.
Two years before, he suffered the amputation of a finger in his right hand, a result of a cancer
In 1922, his right arm had to be amputated, although it was too late to prevent the development of pulmonary metastases, which was the cause of his death in 1925.
He was the founding father of the regional centers that fought cancer.
The first one, in Bordeaux, was named after him: Bergonié Foundation; he was able to attend the first ceremony in December 1924.
He was elevated to the dignity of Grand Cross of the Legion of honor and he died 15 days later, on 20 January, 1925.
Jean Bergonié was a physician between two centuries full of rich events and a brilliant, original, visionary and multidisciplinary personality.
In addition to his research in the field of X-rays, he dealt with topics as diverse as occupational therapy (re-education through labour), war wounds and the treatment for obesity.
He was also promoter of Esperanto (a universal language), runner, cyclist and hunter in his leisure time.

Founder of the Archives l'Electricilé l'Association
le Cancer, 1921
BY his friends and students known as "Le Matre et L'Am."
Jean Bergonié died at his home in Bordeaux on January 1925 after prolonged and agonised suffering resulting from cancer of long standing, brought about by radium lesions.
Jean Bergonié was a Bordelais and an outstanding personality.
He was a physician and physicist with the highest qualifications and standing.
His knowledge of internal medicine and of physics, of which he was at one time a teacher, and his lucid and logical delivery of speech, made him an exceptional exponent of the science of Electrology and Radiology,
which he had set his mind on seeing established on a firm basis.
His life's work, like that of many of his brilliant compatriots, will receive universal recognition, and his name will be inscribed on the Roll of Honour of Medicine.
Bergonié will be remembered by all those whose privilege it was to know him, as the kindest of men, always courteous, helpful and encouraging with constructive criticism, giving of his best to all who
asked it; to many he would reply, " Venez chez moi, je vous montrerai, to others his answer would be, "Venez, je vous apprendrai."
As a mark of esteem his students and friends formed a fund to present him with a medal of himself, and from which the medallion is replica.
The French School of Electrology is in a large measure indebted to Bergonié for his guidance, his enthusiasm, his persistence, his patriotism.
He desired to see France become the home of Electrology, where one would go for ideas and to learn.
