2/ Cancer Hippocrates used the terms ‘carcinos’ and ‘carcinoma’, to describe tumours and ulcers, which meant cancer in Greek. Later the Roman physician, Celsus, translated this into ‘cancer’, the Latin word for crab. https://t.co/Am2FH3gHqa

@ATRIBUTIONERROR The earliest cancerous growths were found in Egyptian and Peruvian mummies dated to ∼1500 BC. The oldest scientifically documented case of cancer was of a 40–50 year old Scythian king who lived in the steppes of Southern Siberia ∼2,700 years ago. https://t.co/Vmcw0M7Uvw
