Forensic analysis reveals ancient history of cancer research in our Image of the Month

This month, we’re showcasing this incredible image of skull 236 and skull E270 by Tatiana Tondini and colleagues at the Institute for Archaeological Sciences, Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen. Both remains showed signs of both tumor growth and medical interventions. The skulls were pivotal to the team's research on ancient cancer, which used micro-CT scanning and microscopy to reveal hidden information about ancient Egyptian medical care and research.

You can find more information on the team’s research and discoveries in our recent article.
