Etymology
The term 'carcinoma' originates from the Greek word 'karkinos' meaning crab, due to the crab-like spreading of the tumor. The concept of carcinoma has been recognized since ancient times, with early descriptions dating back to the Egyptian Edwin Smith Papyrus. Over the centuries, advancements in medical knowledge and technology have led to a better understanding and treatment of carcinomas.
