God of Medicine Ingenuity

In the distant past, lived king Djoser chancellor, the step pyramid architect, and physician. He was named Imhotep meaning "The one who came in peace". With a similar desire to ours, Imhotep wanted to cure cancer. Archeologists found the famous Eber’s Papyrus. Inside the papyrus, Imhotep explained breast bulging tumors. He genuinely described proper clinical history taking and examination. Amazingly, he made the discovery of the first immunotherapy for cancer in the history of mankind.

We’re going through Imhotep’s steps to create advanced immunotherapy for Breast Cancer.
