Who Discovered Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrolled cell grow thin lung tissue. If untreated, this growth could spread outside the lunging a process called metastasis to nearby tissue and, eventually, to other parts of the body. Most cancers that begin in the lungs, knowns primary lung cancer, are carcinomas derived from epithelial cells. Worldwide, lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death in men and women

at the end of the 20th century to the 19th and early show little relationship between smoking and lung cancer. In 1929, FritzLickint, a German physician first recognized the potential relationship between these two aspects. This discovery led anti-tobacco movement in Nazi Germany wide. The invention is based primarily on speculation.

in the 1950's researchers from the UK to give credible evidence,epidemiological and statistical evidence to link the involvement of cigarettes with lung cancer. With lung cancer, they also demonstrate the possibility of other diseases such as respiratory disease, myocardial infarction, and other smoking-related diseases. The discovery of lung cancer is largely due to the British Doctors Study contributors for this reason.The original research carried out by Austin Bradford Hill and Richard Doll. Austin Bradford Hill, a British statistician and epidemiologist Richard Doll and is a British physiologist and epidemiologist. Sir Richard Pet, a specialist and a professor at Oxford University and then joined the research. Together, they run random tests, analyzing res and epidemiologistl reports and published studies. Because of this research, the U.S. Surgeon General recognizes smoking as a cause of lung cancer in 1964 and began to advice against it.
