This is the Prostate Cancer Sufferer is the oldest in the world
Scientists seem to have to revise the pollutants as one of the causes of cancer. Therefore, researchers from the American University in Cairo (AUC) that solves the puzzle of the cause of death is about 2,200 more old mummies in Egypt, found prostate cancer as the cause of his death. "Back then, obviously no pollutants," said Salima Ikram, a member of the researcher.
They concluded, a disease afflicting the mummy was caused by genetic factors, not the environment. Genetic and environmental factors are becoming key to understanding cancer.
Ikram was previously involved in the Mummy research for two years in Portugal, the mummies are estimated to die in their 40s. He said this is a case of prostate cancer is the second-oldest in the world.
"Living conditions in ancient times are very different; There are no pollutants or food that is modified, which leads us to believe that the disease is not always just associated with industrial factors, "he said, as quoted Haretz.
A statement from the AUC says the oldest case of prostate cancer comes from 2,700-year-old frame. He is believed to be one of the Russia's King who died of cancer that attacks the vital organs.
