Peters received her medical degree from the University of Toronto in 1934.[1] In 1950 she published a landmark paper demonstrating for the first time that many patients with early Hodgkin's disease, then considered incurable, could be completely cured if given high-dose radiation.[2] She later went on to study the use of radiation therapy in the treatment of breast cancer.[3] Her research demonstrated that breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) followed by radiation was just as effective as radical mastectomy which had a significant impact on the lives of the many women who experience breast cancer.[4] In recognition of her medical work, Peters was awarded two honorary doctorates (from York University in 1975 and Queen's University in 1983) and a gold medal from the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology in 1979. She was appointed a Member of the Order of Canada in 1975, raised to Officer in 1977, and was posthumously inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame in 2010.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.science.ca/scientists/scientistprofile.php?pID=405&pg=3|title=science.ca Profile : Vera Peters|date=19 August 2005|publisher=GCS Research Society|accessdate=6 July 2014}} {{Canadian Medical Hall of Fame}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Peters, Vera}}2. ^{{cite journal|last=Peters|first=MV|title=Radiation Therapy|journal=JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association|date=4 January 1965|volume=191|issue=1|pages=28–29|doi=10.1001/jama.1965.03080010034008}} 3. ^{{cite journal|last=Peters|first=MV|title=Radiation therapy in the management of breast cancer|journal=Proceedings, National Cancer Conference|date=1970|volume=6|pages=163–74|pmid=5458090}} 4. ^1 {{Cite web| title = Dr. M.
