Can someone tell me where I can go to get tested for cancer /lung cancer here in Los Angeles or california Thanks Robin Gist in Los Angeles.

How does genetics play a role in lung cancer? I'm wondering how i can explain dna/genetics when talking about lung cancer. thanks!

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?
