Cancer is an ancient disease . . so not exactly sure what you are talking about . . I suppose you could credit Greek physician Hippocrates (460-370 B.C.) with the origin for the word cancer. As far as scientists go there are a number of names . . none specific to lung cancer, but cancer in general who were instrumental in identifying cancer throughout the ages. You can read more about the history of cancer at the American Cancer Society: The History of Cancer http://www.cancer.org/docroot/CRI/content/CRI_2_6x_the_history_of_cancer_72.asp
