Identification of Chronic Illness and the Rationale
Cancer has grown to be one of the chronic diseases in the United States and to the rest of
the world. Cancer development involves changes in the genes; this causes rapid and
uncontrollable growth of the cells leading to the formation of tumors. Cancer is important
because of its impacts on society today. Cancer is the second cause of death in the United States
and the second cause of death globally. In 2018 cancer deaths were rated at 9.8 million deaths
globally. The World Health Organization reports that out of six deaths one death is cancerrelated (World Health Organization, 2018).
An additional rationale for cancer is the impacts it has on the economy of the country, in
the United States the government uses 107 billion dollars every in cancer treatment, research,
and care funding. Cancer is important because it's preventable by controlling risk factors,
screening, and early initiation of treatment. However, Cancer is important as it weakens
immunity, making the patients vulnerable to other opportunistic infections (National Cancer
Institute, 2020).
