 | | Rudolf Ludwig Karl Virchow (born October 13, 1821, in Pomerania; died September 5, 1902, in Berlin) was a German doctor, anthropologist, public health activist, pathologist, prehistorian, biologist and politician. |
 | | From a farming family of relatively modest means, Virchow studied medicine in Berlin at the military academy of Prussia on a scholarship. |
 | | Another significant credit relates to the discovery, made approximately simultaneously by Virchow and Charles Emile Troisier, that an enlarged left supra-clavicular node is one of the earliest signs of gastrointestinal malignancy, commonly of the stomach, or less commonly, lung cancer. |
