Answers:
Cancer is an ancient disease that has been found in the fossilized remains of human beings.
Probably the first written mention of the disease occured in 1600 BC which "describes 8 cases of tumors or ulcers of the breast that were treated by cauterization, with a tool called "the fire drill." The writing says about the disease, "There is no treatment."
