Pancreatic Cancer

Analysis and exploration of pancreatic cancer as a current health problem. Paper Masters outlines how you can explore and consider the newest research on pancreatic cancer. Your presentation should include the following in discussing the disease:

1. Explore the etiology of pancreatic cancer
2. Cancer of the pancreases' effects and symptoms
3. Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer

In your analysis you will be expected to explore - on the basis of medical research - not only treatments and prognosis, but prevention. It is a good idea to use at least five current research articles, all of them within the past year. In light of this research, you are expected to argue the most effective solutions related to this disease or condition.

How to Apply Research on Pancreatic Cancer to Your Own Family Tree

1. EXAMINATION AND ANALYSIS OF FAMILY TREE: The first part of your paper will be thorough discussion and analysis of a disease/medical condition prominent in your family. Why did you choose this condition to analyze? Make it personal! For example, your research may be based in pancreatic cancer because your grandmother died as a consequence of it.
2. ANALYZE - Completely examine the disease in light of at least five (5) independent studies concerning this. Studies should have been done within the past five (5) years.
3. EVALUATE - Show how each study contributes to the accumulated scientific wisdom regarding this type of cancer. What are each study's methods findings, and recommendations? Evaluate these findings and recommendations!
4. CONCLUDE - Which studies do you rind the most convincing? Why? Apply them to yourself: Which are you must likely to follow? Why? Would your readers follow the same advice? Why or why not? Under what conditions (if any) would your recommendations change?

Remember, your assertions are weak without evidence. Overall, the more recent research you use, the more effective your papers become. The more evidence you accumulate, the stronger your argument.

Overview of How to Organize a Pancreatic Cancer Research Paper

1. Introduce the topic of Pancreatic Cancer
2. Symptoms (and causes)
3. Treatments
4. Prevention
   

Be sure your research paper includes the following elements of good, upper level writing for college courses:

• Substance: The quantity and quality of your ideas, examples, evidence: the weight of your argument.
• Structure: The degrees to which you establish a clear focus in the introduction, order evidence in the body, and provide an effective conclusion to your paper-providing effective transitions as you proceed from one part to the next.
• Focus: Your concentration on relevant material, useful to your argument; the degree you avoid summary and direct the reader's attention to the development and support of your thesis.
• Accuracy: The degree to which your argument is clear, your report of the text is reliable and your quotes are absolutely precise. The degree to which your paper complies with the assignment.
