Overview
In 1929, Fritz Lickint a German physican first described the association between smoking and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.[1]
Historical Perspective
Early History
- In 1879, Harting and Hesse, two German physicians, first described the association between lung cancer and working in mines.[2]
- In 1929, Fritz Lickint a German physican first described the association between smoking and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.[1]
- In 1932, Germany led the first public anti-smoking campaign in modern history, also known as "Anti-tobacco movement in Nazi Germany"
- In 1950, "The British Doctors Study" was the first solid epidemiological evidence of the link between lung cancer and smoking.[3]
- In 1966, the first preventive measures against lung cancer were implemented, warning labels first appear on cigarette packs "Caution: Cigarette Smoking May Be Hazardous to Your Health".[4]
Recent History
- In 1982, Geoffrey Cooper, an American pathologist first used the NIH 3T3 focus assay to identify the activated K-ras oncogene in lung cancer cell lines.[5]
- In 1986, the association between second-hand smoking and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung is established.[4]
- In 1987, researchers first establish that a receptor on cancer cells called the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays an important role in the growth and spread of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.[6]
