Description
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. You have been invited by your local community health department to give a PowerPoint presentation on cancers. Your goal is to educate your audience about the definition of cancer, the causes, means for early detection and preventative measures. The meeting will take place at the health department during a community health fair. Be mindful that your target audience will be composed of people from the local community who most likely will not have a background in science or medicine.
Your assignment will be to pick one cancer and discuss each of the following:
Your PowerPoint presentation should be written with your audience in mind. Remember, your audience does not have a science or medical background, so you will need to translate any “jargon” into something that they will understand.
You must write your “script” of what you will say to your audience in the notes section of each PowerPoint slide. Each slide will have a picture and/or bullet points, along with your notes located in the notes section below the slide, with the specific talking points you will deliver to the audience.
The presentation should be between 10–15 slides, not including the title and references slides.
Creating an Effective PowerPoint Presentation
An effective PowerPoint presentation will include:
- An introduction: bulleted list of background and key points
- A body: multiple slides, each with one key point
- A conclusion: bulleted list of major points

Todays Leading Killer- Lung cancer
introduction
•
•
Cancer refers to a group of
diseases characterized with
abnormal cell growth which spread
and invade other body parts.
Tumors may not necessarily be
cancerous as they do not invade to
body parts (Manfred 2008).
•
The signs and symptoms of
cancer may include a lump on
the body surface, prolonged
cough, abnormal bleeding,
unrealistic loss of weight and
observable different bowel
movements.
• These symptoms are symptoms
of cancer, but may have other
different causes.
More about cancer
•

•
Cancers consists of a large family of
ailments involving abnormal cell
growth spreading to different parts of the
body.
This growth forms a subgroup
of neoplasms.
A neoplasm is an example of a tumor or a
swelling on the body consisting of a group
of cells which have undergone abnormal
growth forming a mass or lump.
What causes cancer
There are types of cancer which
exist in certain families, though
most are not linked to the
parental genes inherited to the
offspring. The big percent of
cancer (90–95% of cancer cases),
are triggered by environmental
factors. About 5–10% of cancer
cases are inherited from parental
genetics.

diet and obesity (30–35%),
radiation (ionizing/non-ionizing,
10%),
zero physical activity,
stress
environmental pollutants
TYPES OF CANCER
•
There are over 100
different types of cancer,
involving abnormal cell
growth.
• The leading 5 types
cancers and there related
statistics are;
Lung or bronchial cancer:
claimed 792,495 lives in 2010
• Lung cancer is the leading killer
cancer in the world.
• Smoking of tobacco is the major
causes of this type of cancer.
• According to the NCI it affects
mostly people between 55 and 65
years of age.
Cont’d
•
•
•
There are two types of lung cancer:
small cell lung cancer and non-small
cell cancer.
Non-small cell cancer is most common
of the two. Small cell lung cancer
spreads quickly than non-small cell lung
cancer.
Over 157,000 people are stipulated to
die of lung cancer in 2010.

Metastasis

•
•
Metastasis refers to the spread of cancer or

Cancer spreads from the original site
through local spread, hematogenous spread
through the blood or lymphatic spread to
the lymph nodes through metastasis.
