When was the first case of diagnosed cancer in the world?

  • Either diagnosed at the time or a case that was later found to be cancer after its classification

  • Answer:

    Cancer has been around a for a very long time, in fact the world's oldest documented case of cancer stems from ancient Egypt, in 1500 b.c. However, it wasn't until sometime later when the word "Cancer" evolved from the Greek where the Greek physician (Hippocrates) used the Greek word carcinos and carcinoma to describe tumours, around 300B.C.

Very good question! I just always thought that it was something that has been around forever but wasn't given a name because they didn't know what it was. Awesome question!
