Abstract

Cancer causes one of the most deaths due to a disease. World Health Organization (WHO) accounting more than 100 countries estimated that the first or second leading cause of death before the age of 70 years is due to suffering from cancer. Worldwide survey counted 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths has been estimated recently. It is a second leading cause of deaths in the United States having more than 1.7 million people diagnosed with cancer and almost 600000 people have died due to the disease. Finding a cure for cancer is one of the greatest challenges over the decades of researches globally until now. Through the ages of time, with the help of enormous research studies, great knowledge on cancer disease has been accumulated. With the advancement of modern technology, understanding on cancer has been partially unwound into a great detail of invisible molecular particles. However, the knowledge of cancer disease and the treatments developed in the ancient times without any of these advanced modern technologies, will keep us amazed always. Are those ancient human beings more intelligent than the modern mankind? Reading these articles cited in this review article makes us wonder.
