Cancer --Artificial disease- Have not found malignant tumour in the mummy
The British scientist finds after studying ancient Egyptian mummy, human skeleton fossil and written historical materials, it is very low that ancient people suffer from the proportion of cancer. But in nowadays industrialized country, cancer is second only to the second largest " killer " of mankind in cardiovascular vessel disease . The scientists say, this result means, modern life style and industrial pollution may cause and suffer from the main reason why the number of people of cancer increases sharply. The Manchester university scientist takes down the rectangular form health to organize from several hundred ancient Egyptian mummies, the intersection of organization and ink and then that dehydrate already these. Oldest already 3000 years ago in these mummies. The scientists say, on mummy, tumour is easier to keep than the health organization. However, they only find a mummy has suffered from cancer before death. The scientists have also studied the skeleton fossil of the cave dweller of thousands of yuan, only find a piece of " suspicious " Fossil sample. In addition, scientist transfer and read ancient the intersection of Egyptian and literature still, think similar disease of cancer that record might by leprosy or variceal to cause among them behind the research. Britain " daily post " quotes visiting scholar's of Manchester university Professor Zimerman speech to report on the 14th: "In ancient times, people seldom treat disease by surgical means. So, if suffer from cancer, the focus will be kept completely However, not finding malignant tumour in the mummy, it is really rare in ancient times that this can only be interpreted as cancer. " The literature records, ancient Greeks define cancer and can distinguish benign and malignant tumour clearly for the first time. But the Manchester university scientist says, are not clear ancient Greeks can accomplish this point because the cancer morbidity increases or knows more medical knowledge at present. The scientist says, research has revealed since industrial revolution, the ill number of people of cancer has risen rapidly, especially the number of child who suffers from cancer is increasing constantly, this proves increase of cancer morbidity is not because the human life-span is longer. Manchester university studies ancient Egyptian biomedical David and says: "In the natural environment, one kind of no factors can cause cancer. So, cancer is a kind of ' artificial disease ', may be caused by pollution, diet and habits and customs. " However, she says, unable to explain why ancient Egyptians suffered from cancer at present. Dr. Thompson says that the flower bud studying the foundation in cancer in the world is cut, " very interesting " of research of Zimerman,et al. . She says: "In Britain, about 1/3 of the people will suffer from cancer. The morbidity in other areas of the world of this disease is quite high too. The scientists think, healthy diet, regular emergence that the weight can prevent 1/3 of the common cancers of sport activity and keeping fit. So, perhaps our ancestor's life style has reduced the risk that they suffer from cancer. " However, the outstanding madder card Harris of information officer of advanced health of the research association of Britain's cancer says, " cancer is sheerly artificial " View incorrect. She think, can't only factor of cancer initiate external factor of polluting etc., people should pay attention to the factor that oneself can control, such as life style,etc., in order to lower the cancer morbidity.
