For how long have people known about lung cancer?


If someone came to a doctor in the early nineteenth century with blatant symptoms of lung cancer, would they have recognised it? When did doctors discover lung cancer and how to treat it, if they could treat it at all?

In nineteenth century the Disease cancer itself was not known much. In the early 20th century only the cancer came to limelight and different cancers were detected during this century. People and doctors were thinking Lung Cancer as T.B. only. When T.B.deaths were more in mid 20th century scientists and doctors doubted about Lung cancer. It was originally suspected a very strong association between cigarette smoking and lung cancer has been consistently observed in studies done since the early 1950s.

Elaborate researches and treatment methods were made in the later part of 20th century.-
