摘要
古病理学(Paleopathology)是利用生物骨骼材料研究古代生物疾病的学科,将现代病理学研究的理论和方法应用于古代生物生前所患疾病的研究。通常认为,古病理学正式形成于19世纪中叶至第一次世界大战期间,当时有许多医学家与人类学家在探究古代生物与疾病的关系。而该学科也随着影像学、组织学以及血清学技术手段不断发展逐步完善,并且在揭示肿瘤演化过程中确立了学科地位。
Paleopathology can be defined as the study of disease in ancient populations through the examination of human remains. The analysis theory and methods of paleopathology are essential tools in investigating diseases that occurred in ancient populations. The true genesis of the field of human paleopathology is generally considered to occur between the mid nineteenth century and World War Ⅰwhen a number of pioneering physicians and anthropologists clarified the medical nature of ancient skeletal pathologies. This work is consolidated with methods such as radiology, histology and serology, and has been applied more frequently. It is at this point that paleopathology can truly be considered as a scientific discipline on the history of oncology.
