Sample Medical Science Presentation Paper on Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

            Non- small cell lung cancer occurs when cells grows abnormally in the lung while spreading to the rest of the body. Almost all types of lung cancers are treated in the same way. The outline of the work is as follows:

1. Definition of lung cancer and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
   1. Causes of lung cancer
   1. Effects of lung cancer
2. Behavioral attributes that may cause cancer
   1. Cancer in children
   1. Adult lung cancer
   1. Smokers and non smokers exposure to lung cancer
3. Treatment methods for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
   1. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
   1. Radiation therapy
   1. Chemotherapy
   1. Targeted therapies
   1. Immunotherapy
   1. Surgery
4. Best alternative treatment for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
   1. Conclusion
   1. References

            This article is a book. It talks about the lung cancers and the causes hitherto. There are many treatment methods applied in lung cancer. In most cases, the treatment is the same. This is because the cells depict similar growth (Deslauriers, Pearson, and Shamji 34). This article is very essential and insightful for my study. Therefore, I chose it for my study.

            The source is a book. It is structured along the effects of cancer to different age group. The authors are articulate about social behaviors that contribute to the development of lung cancers. The management of lung cancers in human beings goes hand in hand with the right behavioral attributes.  The article has been widely referenced by researchers and scholars hence giving it authority (Gridelli and Audisio 45). In addition, the authors are renowned writers in health matters an action that makes their work authoritative.

Cancerous Diagram

The diagram I will apply for my study is provided below.

            Figure one represents the breathing systems and areas affected by cancer.

The figure above represents the lungs. Cells grow abnormally as cancer set in. it may spread to rest of the body (American Cancer Society, Inc.).
