Cancer
It has existed all along with man
Twenty-five centuries ago, Hippocrates, called it karkinois because the swollen blood vessels going and coming from the tumor mass, gave the appearance of the claws of a crab
Susruta described cancer as a tumor which would ulcerate and would not cure, and “sow its seeds in other parts of the body”
