The true life story of Cancer

By Johnson Mbabazi

The word "cancer" came from the father of medicine: Hippocrates, a Greek physician. Hippocrates used the Greek words carcinos and carcinoma to describe tumours, therefore calling cancer "karkinos." The Greek terms essentially were words that were used to describe a crab, which Hippocrates thought a tumour resembled. Although Hippocrates may have named the disease "cancer," he was certainly not the first to discover the disease. The history of cancer actually begins much earlier. The story of cancer is fascinating and full of many uncertainties. It still presents many challenges today and carries one the diseases that highest mortality rates in the world.
