Clemmitt, Marcia. “Preventing Cancer.” CQ Researcher 19 (2009): 25-48. Research Library Core. CQ Researcher Online. David L. Rice Library, Evansville, IN. 23 Mar. 2009
Marcia Clemmitt, in her article “Preventing Cancer”, explains that there is no single cancer treatment for patients to take, because some cancers become resistant to drugs that were to have been thought to cure. Clemmitt supports this explanation by providing patient cases, statistics, and charts. Her purpose is to tell her readers that cancers of any type are difficult to treat and prevent and that the donations and funds are becoming less of an importance to prevent. She establishes a relationship with audiences that can relate to the disease and those who want to help others out.
Information in this article is helpful because it states that prevention funds are decreasing and this could help me to persuade others to donate.

Anna Floyd, in her article “Depressive Symptoms and Smokers”, explains that depressed smokers might be more realistic about their health risks compared to those don’t think realistically about the disease. Floyd supports her explanation by showing statistics and how they relate to the breakdown of each group, such as college smokers and those from the nationally representative HINTS database. Her purpose is for readers to realize that many depressed smokers think realistically and are optimistic about changing their bad habit. She establishes a relationship with those who smoke and are trying to quit.
This information is helpful because it shows that depressed people have the urge to quit.

Rice Library, Evansville, IN. 19 Mar. 2009
Janet Gray, in her article "State of the Evidence: The Connection between Breast Cancer and the Environment” (2009), asserts that environmental chemicals and radiation increase the cause of breast cancer among people because of their exposure to certain chemicals. Gray supports this assertion by including statistical background evidence, health dangers, and the chemical interactions that occur in these problematic situations. Her purpose is to make her audience more aware of the dangers of radiation, chemicals, and pesticides have on our environment and body in order to hopefully let them obtain more knowledge of the subject at hand. She establishes an informal relationship with her audience who is mainly interested in the causes involving the relation between the environment and body causes.
This information provides evidence that the environment has a great impact on our health.
"High Trans Fat Intake Linked to Colon Polyps." Tufts University Health & Nutrition Letter 26.9 (2008): 8. Health Module. ProQuest. David L. Rice Library, Evansville, IN. 23 Mar. 2009
In this article "High Trans Fat Intake Linked to Colon Polyps", the writer asserts that people’s eating habits could risk their health and be diagnosed with colon cancer. The author supports his assertion by having researchers from the University of North Carolina study records and conduct interviews with up to roughly 630 people about their diets, physical activities, and other health issues. His purpose is to make his readers be cognizant of how people’s food intake and daily activities may cause them to develop colon cancer if not watched carefully. Audiences of this intended article would include those who are looking for a change in their lifestyle and eating habits to prevent further health complications.
This information would be a great addition to my project as it is one of the cancers that Relay For Life fights against and since many Americans die from it each year.
"Information from Your Family Doctor: Colon Cancer Screening.” American Family Physician 78.12 (2008): 1393-1394. Research Library Core. ProQuest. David L. Rice Library, Evansville, IN. 23 Mar. 2009
This article “Information from Your Family Doctor: Colon Cancer Screening”, explains what colon cancer is, how it is spotted, and how to prevent it from happening. The article supports this explanation by providing information about where it originates, symptoms, and how it could be inherited from family members. The purpose is to let the readers understand that colon cancer can be deadly, in order to demand a call to action for prevention, if not found early on; studies have shown that medications can reduce risks. The audiences of this article are those who are coping with colon cancer or those who know of someone who is.
Explaining this information in my project will let others know that colon cancer is also dangerous and can be prevented.
Logue, Kathleen. “Pregnancy-Associated Breast Cancer.” Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing 13.1 (2009): 25-27. Research Library Core. Academic Search Premier. David L. Rice Library, Evansville, IN. 23 Mar. 2009
Kathleen Logue, in her article “Pregnancy-Associated Breast Cancer”, asserts that breast cancer might be uncommon, but it is commonly diagnosed during pregnancy. Logue supports her assertion by providing cases among patients, statistics, and her own obtained research. Her purpose is to provide detailed information about the subject, such as physiologic changes that occur, how to spot it, to make sure others know not to wait until after pregnancy to have the surgery as it could have harmful affects on the baby. She establishes an informal relationship with her readers of expecting mothers.
This article would help me because it would prepare those expecting mothers and others to be aware of this situation.

Gwenn Menvielle, in her article “The Role of Smoking and Diet in Explaining Educational Inequalities in Lung Cancer Incidence”, asserts that lung cancer become present and more significant to those who have a lower socioeconomic status. Menvielle supports this assertion by providing statistics and studies that relate to the economy and lung cancer. Her purpose is to tell her readers that the status that they hold in the economy and their education can have an effect on their health. She establishes an informal relationship with adults of a variety of ages.
This information shows that the economy and our education directly affect our health and how we live.

This article shows a good prevention method that I could use to convince others to quit.
Relay For Life. 19 Mar. 2009. American Cancer Society. 20 Mar. 2009
A Relay For Life member, who wrote the article “What is Relay For Life?” explained that Relay For Life is an important event of the American Cancer Society and how it offers everyone in a community to get involved with the fight against cancer. This member supports his explanation by defining Relay For Life, describing why it is done, and providing the history of the activity.
His purpose is to make his readers more aware of cancer in order to get them involved and participate. He establishes an informal relationship with his audience of those among any age who are interested in taking part in the promising event.
I can use this information to help me to describe with great detail what Relay For Life is about.
Shrubsole, Martha J, Wei Lu, Zhi Chen, Xiao Ou Shu, Ying Zheng, Qi Dai, Qiuyin Cai, Kai Gu, Zhi Xian Ruan, Yu-Tang Gao, Wei Zheng. "Drinking Green Tea Modestly Reduces Breast Cancer Risk 1, 2." The Journal of Nutrition 139.2 (2009): 310-6. Research Library Core. ProQuest. David L. Rice Library, Evansville, IN. 19 Mar. 2009
Martha Shrubsole, in her article " Drinking Green Tea Modestly Reduces Breast Cancer Risk1,2" (2009), asserts that even though epidemiological and data may suggest that tea and its contents may prevent various cancers, it has been shown to have minimal decrease risk of breast cancer. Shrubsole supports this assertion by showing formulas, chart, and results from experiments. Her purpose is to make sure her readers understand this concept in order to prevent the suggestion that since this tea contains these ingredients it should reduce the risk of breast cancer. She establishes a relationship with her audience that is interested in helping by providing such information to those who need the help.
Using this information in my presentation will help because it takes a hypothesis and puts it to the test.
