Cancer

This is what I learned about cancer as a result of our projects. I did not know that males could get breast cancer. I didn't know that Asians were the least likely to get melanoma. I learned about what mascectomies and lumpectomies were, and the differences of both. I also didn't know that cancer was capable of moving into the bloodstream and traveling to other parts of the body. This is called metastasis. I didn't know what carcinogens were, either. They're cancer-causing agents. Here are a couple questions I still have about cancer. How many people in the world are estimated to have some type of cancer? What is a male's chance of getting breast cancer? What I liked about this project was the fact that we didn't have an outline that told us exactly what to do. We had very general instructions and we weren't walked through everything. What I didn't like about this project was the lack of time we were given to complete it.
