Cancer is an ancient disease. The ACS has a page about the History of Cancer and says this about breast cancer:
“Cancer has afflicted humans throughout recorded history. It is no surprise that from the dawn of history doctors have written about cancer.
Our oldest description of cancer (although the term cancer was not used) was discovered in Egypt and dates back to approximately 1600 B.C. The Edwin Smith Papyrus, or writing, 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.”
