The purpose of this memo is about our project about the American cancer society. We will make thermo bags and conduct surveys in the field of American Cancer Society.
SUMMARY
The number of cancer patients in the United States keeps rising daily. According to the Cancer Facts and Statistics (2016), cancer is killing many people in the United States today than any other disease. In 2016 alone 1,685,210 new cases of cancer were reported in the United States. 595,690 cancer deaths have already been reported this year (Toore, 2016). My group finds the topic about cancer more interesting bearing in mind that everyone is optimistic about finding a way forward to curbing the menace. Additionally, the fact that there are still areas that have not been researched in the field of cancer, this group will do surveys and find out which areas are these.
