Can cans cause cancer?

Imhotep might have been the first to document it. An Egyptian surgeon who lived around 3000 BC, he is thought to be the original author of the "Edwin Smith" papyrus. In this ancient textbook (named after its discoverer) is the first known mention of cancer.

"If thou examinest a man having tumors on his breast, (and) thou findest that swelling has spread over his breast; if thou puttest thy hand upon his breast upon these tumors, (and) thou findest them very cool, there being no fever at all therein..." says the text.
