ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE STUDY:Cancer is a group of disease involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade to spread to other parts of the body. Cancer is the one of the biggest and most researched causes of death in developed countries. Cancer can affect at any age. Most types of cancer are more likely to affect in older people. This is because as a person’s DNA gets older, their DNA may be damaged. Cancer can be spread to other parts in the body. The oldest known document that talks about cancer was discovered in Egypt and is thought to be from about 1600 B.C. The document talks about using surgery to treat eight cases of ulcer of breast. These were treated by cauterization- by burning them- using a tool called ‘‘fire drill’’. The document also says about cancer.
