Overview
Laennec first recognized lung cancer as a separate disease in 1815, in his work "Encephaloides" published in the Dictionnaire des sciences médicales.[1] In 1959, Azzopardi distinguished this cancer from anaplastic adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma and described the clinical, cytology and histochemical features that characterized it as a separate disease.[2]
