Current Issue March 2020 Volume 41, Issue 1 Current Topic March 2020 Lung Cancer: Part I M. Patricia Rivera, Richard A. Matthay, Editors At the turn of the twentieth century, lung cancer was a rare disease accounting for only 1% of all cancers and found primarily at autopsy. By the 1940s, lung cancer rates had significantly increased. It was the second most common cause of cancer death after gastric cancer, and surgery was the only available treatment. Although a connection between smoking and lung cancer had been recognized by the German physician Fritz Lickint in 1929, it was not until the early 1950s, following the publication of 2 landmark studies from the United Kingdom and the United States, that cigarette smoking was identified as an important factor in the development of lung cancer. The 1964 US Surgeon General report titled, A Focus on Cigarette Smoking,” stated that cigarette smoking is an important health hazard in the United States and action is required to reduce its harmful effects.” The first cancer prevention study initiated in 1959 demonstrated a relative risk of death from lung cancer among smokers compared with never smokers of 2.69 and 11.3 for women and men, respectively. This study has been described as a key guide to national policy and changing public attitudes” with regards to the link between cigarette smoking and lung cancer.
