Reproductive Cancer Assignment

First select a type of reproductive cancer (e.g. prostate, breast, testicular, cervical, ovarian, uterine), then answer the following questions:

· What are the symptoms?
· What are the risk factors?
· How is it diagnosed?
· How is it treated?
· Who are local providers? (e.g., clinics, hospitals, treatment centers in Lincoln/Nebraska that provide treatment for this type of Cancer)
Be specific in your responses. For example, if Cancer A is treated with drugs, mention what kind of drug, what it does, and so forth. Avoid making statements such as, “Cancer A is treated with medicine,” without examples and further detail.

Your assignment will be graded on the following criteria:

· Your assignment should be written in 12-point Times New Roman, double-spaced, and 1-inch margins.

· Upload a Word .doc or .docx file type only.

· Your assignment should be at least 650 words. If you are under the limit, points will be deducted. If you are over the limit, nothing beyond 5.5 pages will be counted toward the assignment’s points.

· Write in paragraph form and use proper abbreviations (e.g., human papillomavirus (HPV)).

· Use APA format for in-text citations and references. Each paragraph that contains material from a source must have an appropriate citation.

· Your sources (no minimum number) may be drawn from the material you find useful (e.g., articles in scholarly or popular publications, websites), but do not use personal blogs as your source of information.

· Because this is a research assignment that requires a search for information, the course textbook and lectures cannot be used as sources.

· If you use four or more words directly from a source without putting them in your own words, you must use quotes or it is considered plagiarism.
