A research team from a Spanish university found the world’s oldest known case of breast cancer, according to the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities. The evidence of the disease was in an adult woman’s skeleton that was identified as being 4,200 years old. The finding may indicate inaccuracy of the popular idea that cancers are mainly attributed to modern lifestyles.
