Salima Ikram, the professor who is a member of the research team mummy in Portugal for two years, said that the mummy was a man who died at the age of 40 years.
"The living conditions are very different in the past, no pollutants or modified foods, or things that bring us to see that cancer is not always related to industry factors.
Ikram said the findings are the cases of prostate cancer is the! second oldest in the world. According to the research team, the oldest case first comes from the skeleton of a king in Russia, 2,700 years ago.
Prostate cancer as a scourge for him. Disease that attacks the male sex organs is called the second man as the cause of death after lung cancer.
Early detection of
As quoted by the Telegraph, a number of scientists at Bristol University !have identified two types of high-yield protein found in the body of men with prostate cancer. These proteins develop in the organs and tissues of the body, especially while still in the womb and childhood.
The study was conducted by comparing levels of proteins 2686 men with prostate cancer and 2766 healthy men.
Dr. Mari-Anne Rowlands, cancer epidemiologist who led the research said it was too early to conclude that protein to be the only cause of prostate cancer cell growth.
"But this shows us the possibility of identifying new biomarkers as potential early marker for prostate cancer has been a tendency without symptoms," he said. "What we need now is more research."
The results of this study presented at the National Cancer Research Institute conference in Liverpool, last year. Previously, some researchers in the UK revealed the possibility of early detection of prostate cancer through urine tests. This is to identify the genetic risk of prostate cancer in men
