CAIRO (AP) — A professor from American University in Cairo says discovery of prostate cancer in a 2,200-year-old mummy indicates the disease was caused by genetics, not environment.
AUC professor Salima Ikram, a member of the team that studied the mummy in Portugal for two years, said yesterday the mummy was of a man who died in his forties. She said this was the second oldest known case of prostate cancer.
