Overview

  • 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.[1]

Historical Perspective

  • 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.[3]
  • In 1950, "The British Doctors Study" was the first solid epidemiological evidence of the link between lung cancer and smoking.[4]
  • 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".[5]
  • 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.[6]
  • In 1986, the association between second-hand smoking and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung is established.[5]
  • 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.[1]
