Cancer diseases have not disappeared throughout history. While some diseases, like the Black plague, saw important declines after devastating periods, history demonstrates a phenomenon known as pathocenosis. This concept, developed by medical historian mirko Grmek, suggests a natural balance exists between major diseases. As one illness, such as plague or leprosy, recedes, another, like syphilis or tuberculosis, may emerge or increase. This dynamic suggests a self-regulating aspect within nature, where different life forms, including diseases, exist in a state of equilibrium.
