The First Documented Case of CancerThe world's oldest documented case of cancer hails from ancient Egypt, in 1500 b.c. The details were recorded on a papyrus, documenting 8 cases of tumors occurring on the breast. It was treated by cauterization, a method to destroy tissue with a hot instrument called "the fire drill." It was also recorded that there was no treatment for the disease, only palliative treatment.

Answer 4

Cancer is the result of genetic mutations that result in cells in the body growing in an uncontrolled and invasive way. Most of the types of cells in our bodies reproduce throughout our lives, some quickly like skin celss, some slowly like brain cells. These genetic mutations can occur at any time during a cell's reproduction but are more likely in the presence of something that encourages errors during the reproduction of the cell's DNA such as cancer causing chemicals (as are found in cigarette smoke) or radiation.

But these genetic mutations - and cancer - occurs even without these causes. So cancer has probably been around as long as humans have been.

Cancer just seems so much more common today because, in the past, most people died much younger. Today, with our medical advances, many diseases have been eradicated or can be treated. SO there are more people living for longer and so have a greater chance to develop cancer.
