cancer project

Our Science class recently completed and presented a project about cancer. For this project we split into groups of four or five and were given a fake patient to diagnose. My view on cancer was made much more clearly from this project. I learned that age, race, and in a few cases even gender increased the risk of getting cancer. Metastasis is the name for the process of which cancer spreads throughout the body, and each cancer has different stages which are based off of how far the cancer has spread. I also learned that men can get breast cancer. There were a couple questions that i had which didnt get answered. I was wondering which cancers have the lowest and highest survial rate, and also which kind of cancer is most commonly found around the world. I really enjoyed this project because it greatly increased my understanding of what cancer is and what it does.
