Overview
In 1976,"The Nurses Health Study" was the first epidemiological study to assess the risk of large cell lung carcinoma with a previous history of tobacco smoking.
Historical Perspective
- In 1879, Harting and Hesse, two German physicians, first described the association between lung cancer and working in mines.[1]
- In 1929, Fritz Lickint a German physican first described the association between smoking and non small cell lung cancer.[2]
- 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]
- In 1976,"The Nurses' Health Study" was the first epidemiological study to assess the risk of large cell lung carcinoma with a previous history of tobacco smoking.
- 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 non small cell lung cancer 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 non small cell lung cancer.[6]
