Cancerous growths have been with us since before man walked upright. It has been a disease known to man long before records were kept of such things. Not always called cancer but known by different names such as carcinos in 460BC. Prior to that it was just wasting or growths. Mummified remains from 3000 BC have shown cancerous growths on bone.
