Cancro 100 volte più probabile oggi rispetto al passatoScritto daRick SanchezWakkus Horribilisil 2018-06-27 02:15:47.0 alle 2018-06-27 02:15:47.0Trollate totali: 4275https://www.sciencealert.com/ancient-egypt-dakhleh...

Out of 1,087 skeletons buried between 1,500 and 3,000 years ago, just 6 were found with cancer - two younger women with cervical cancer, and a man with testicular cancer, which have all been associated with HPV; and an older mummified man with colorectal cancer, an older woman with metastatic carcinoma, and a toddler with leukaemia.
That's a rate of 5 cases in 1,000 - compared to today, where the cancer rate in Western societies approaches 500 per 1,000 people - a lifetime cancer risk 100 times greater than what it was in the ancient Dakhleh in Egypt's Western Desert.
Sarebbe interessante capire perché.-

Anni fa avevo detto la stessa cosa nel forum di PI - evidentemente dopo averla letta da qualche parte - e mi si era risposto che da uno scheletro non puoi sapere se aveva il cancro.
