Researchers find cancer in ancient Egyptian mummy

I was wondering about the oldest case since this mummy had the second oldest case.

According to the article "A statement from AUC says the oldest known case came from a 2,700 year-old skeleton of a king in Russia."

My question is since the prostate is a gland and not part of the skeleton how did this King die with some sort of boner?

I figuered CNN got it wrong again. The talking head announced that a 22,000 year old mummy has a connection with prostrate cancer. I mean really! A 22,000 year old mummy? Amazing since Ramses II was around in 1300 BC only 3,300 years ago. Way to screw it up again CNN.
