Abstract

In the ancient world, breast cancer estimates appear to be higher than those for any other types of cancer. Several potential cases of breast cancer during antiquity have been described in medical papers over the past millennia. However, a clear distinction between breast cancer and other non-malignant breast pathologies cannot be confidently made with the available evidence, and it is not possible to ascertain whether the estimates provided by ancient writers reflect the real incidence of the disease at the time.
