Prehistoric skulls from Peru show signs of metastatic melanoma, and Moses punished the Egyptians with soot or chimney sweep's canccr : . . . take soot from a furnace . . . and cause festcring boils on man and beast . . . fExodus lX, 8-95. Egyptians treated tumors with arsenic. This oldest cancer remedy, described on Eber's papyrus, is still used by some hematologists. Greeks hoped to cure cancer by excising all its crab-like roots but were stopped by Galcn's dogma that tumors are only local signs of systemic melancholia Cblack bilej. Much later john Hunter, by teaching that Ncoagulated lymphi' causes tumors, and demanding excision of regional lymph nodes, introduced rational cancer surgery. Leeuwenhoelos microscope and Virchowis cellular pathology changed cancer back from a systemic disease to a clump of proliferating cells. Percival Pott redis- covered the chimney sweepis cancer, and in 1914 Yamagiwa and Ichikawa repeated on rabbits what Moses had done on Egyptians. Slye's studies on genetics of cancer susceptibility and viral disease, which produced cancer in Peyton Rous' chickens, brought back Galen's concept of locally in- curable, biologically predetermined cancer. New ap- proaches to therapy had to follow. Hormone influence on tumors, recognized by Beatson, and proven by Huggins, led to the reintroduction of rational systemic cancer therapy. Moses and Rous, Galen and Huggins cooperated to identify the local Hfestering boili, induced by Hsoot of furnaces with the spreading crabi' of a patient with Hdisturbed humorsf' Man looked at many trees to see one forest. 47
