In Latin, cancer is the word for crab. The image of the crab inspired the first application of the word to the disease. The ancient physician Galen (129-199 BC) coined the term when he wrote: “Just as a crab’s feet extend from every part of the body, so in this disease the veins are distended, forming a similar figure.”
