There is a worldwide debate on whether or not Cancer is a Man Made disease. A plethora of Cancer Agencies, Organisation, and News Media have a distinguished opinion on the same. Let’s find out what are their point of views on the same topic.
“Scientists found no signs of cancer in their extensive study of mummies apart from one isolated case Michael Zimmerman, a visiting professor at Manchester University, said: 'In an ancient society lacking surgical intervention, evidence of cancer should remain in all cases.
The virtual absence of malignancies in mummies must be interpreted as indicating their rarity in antiquity, indicating that cancer-causing factors are limited to societies affected by modern industrialisation.”

“It may be hard to believe, but a recent study shows that cancer is 100 percent a man-made disease, and that it is caused by modern-day phenomena like pollution and dietary intake.”

But discarding all the above claims, Cancer Research UK mentioned that claims that cancer is only a ‘modern, man-made disease’ are false and misleading.
“This [claim that cancer is man made] is not only scientifically incorrect, but misleading to the public and cancer patients. Our lifestyles have a great impact on our chances of developing cancer – as we’ve said many times. But the evidence that’s being used to justify these latest headlines doesn’t in any way support the assertion that cancer is modern or man-made.”

Whether or not cancer is a man-made disease is still a topic of debate. But we, as an individual, should take proper precautions to keep cancer away from affecting our body.
