Cancer was first described in an Egyptian papyrus of about 1600 g BC.  In the papyrus describes several forms of breast cancer and reported that from this disease there no cure. The name "cancer" comes from the imposed Hippocrates (460-370 BC.) The term "carcinoma", signifying the malignant tumor with perifocal inflammation. (Hippocrates called tumor carcinoma, because it looks like a crab.) He described several types of cancer, and proposed the term oncos (Greek). The Roman physician Aulus Cornelius Celsus (Aulus Cornelius Celsius) in the I. BC.  suggested that early removal of the tumor to treat cancer, and late - are not treated at all. He translated the Greek word into Latin carcinos (cancer - crab). Galen used the word to describe oncos all tumors, which has the root word of modern oncology.
