Pancoast tumors are named for [[Henry Pancoast]], a US [[radiologist]], who described them in 1924 and 1932.
In 1838, Hare was the first to describe Pancoast tumor. In 1924, Henry K.

Overview

In 1838, Hare was the first to describe Pancoast tumor. In 1924, Henry K. Pancoast discovered the association between apical chest tumors, characteristic pain distribution, and Horner’s syndrome. In 1954, external beam radiation was used for the treatment of associated pain by Haas and colleagues. In 1990’s, a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy was found to be associated with better prognosis and treatment outcome.
