Case Study – Cancer

Health care pathologies can become rather complex as you work through the disease process, signs and symptoms, diagnostics, treatments, and outcomes associated with the different diseases. Because of this, health care uses the case study as a way to mirror the scientific method as well as organize the entire story. This is probably the first time you have prepared a case study, so there are some guidelines.

Complete a case study for a patient with cancer.

Include the following aspects in the assignment:

· This patient can be real or imaginary, but if this is a real person, please change the name to respect the person’s privacy

· Use the following five headings for your paper:

1. Introduction: Explore a type of cancer or one of your choosing using the following link: National Cancer Institute

2. Case description: Create a patient, describe the patient, symptoms, and any tests that may be appropriate for the type of cancer

3. Discussion: Based upon what you have found about this type of cancer, discuss what the treatments might be

4. Conclusion: If properly treated, summarize what you think the outcome for your fictitious patient might be

5. References: You will need at least one, and you can use your text or this link: National Cancer Institute

· The case study should be 400 – 500 words

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
