Abstract：
Cancer is often wrongly considered to be a modern disease in many popular medical venues. Cancers have been known to humanity since ancient times. In fact, its antiquity can be identified through the application of palaeopathological methodologies. The present perspective demonstrates by means of a historical and palaeopathological analysis how oncological manifestations were present long before the emergence of anatomically modern humans and addresses the epidemiological transition from ancient times to the contemporary world. The final section of the article examines breast cancer and its identification in ancient human remains.
摘要：
在许多流行的医疗场所中，癌症通常被错误地认为是现代疾病。癌症自古以来就为人类所知。事实上,它的古代可以通过应用古病理学方法来识别。目前的观点通过历史和古病理学分析来证明，在解剖学上的现代人类出现之前，肿瘤表现是如何存在的，并解决了从古代到当代世界的流行病学过渡。文章的最后一部分研究了乳腺癌及其在古代人类遗骸中的鉴定。
