Mummy with myeloma

I just read a fascinating bit of news. After examining two Egyptian mummies (a man and a woman who had died, respectively, in 1800 and 2000 BC), an international team determined that they both had cancer…The woman had breast cancer…and the man had multiple myeloma.

These are the oldest known cases of breast cancer and myeloma…

So myeloma is NOT a relatively recent type of cancer…That’s incredibly interesting, don’t you think? I thought so, anyway…

Here’s the link to the Science Daily article: goo.gl/tkW8T4 

Well, well…
