Probably a little earlier, if I remember correctly she passed at the age of 36 from uterine cancer in 1852. What a way to go... with today's medicine she would probably lived to 100 and beyond.

Could they even treat any cancer besides skin cancer in the 19th century? I remember I once knew a guy said he would prefer to live in the 19th century -- but only with 20th century medical technology.

I'm afraid not. Even tuberculosis which is pretty much a very easily treatable disease nowadays was a death sentence until after WW2 and the advent of penicillin.

Alexander Fleming first discovered the properties of penicillium I believe in 1928, but it would only be in the middle of the war around 1942-1943 that it saw culture and usage as the primordial antibiotic drug.
