Thaon's major contribution in life was toward the disambiguation of the tuberculosis symptomology (Recherches sur l'anatomie pathologique de la tuberculose, 1873). This paper, which is really no more than a brief case report, was followed by a broader bibliographic report on cancer in the male breast written by Peltier titled Notes sur le cancer du sein chez l'homme (pp. 130-135).
