    • Abstract:
      The article discusses how scientists, led by Edgard Camarós, discovered evidence of brain cancer treatment in a 4600-year-old Egyptian skull, suggesting ancient Egyptians practiced surgery for cancer treatment, pushing back humanity's documented cancer treatment attempts by up to 1000 years.
