Strange as it may sound nowadays, people of Middle Ages hardly recognized cancer as a major problem. This is not because cancer did not exist. Rather, it is because the average person had a much higher chance of dying for a different reason, such as plague or smallpox epidemics that could wipe out entire countries in a matter of months. Microbial infections are still a problem, but certainly the dangers they cause are not as grave as they were several centuries ago.
