Begin by telling your audience what cancer is, how often it tends to happen, who tends to get it, as well as some of the personal and/or social consequences of this disease.

As an advanced student in public health, you’ve agreed to speak about cancer prevention to a group of Rutgers freshmen.

Begin by telling your audience what cancer is, how often it tends to happen, who tends to get it, as well as some of the personal and/or social consequences of this disease.  Be sure to consider your audience: your talk should be sufficiently detailed but in terms they can understand.
Base your reply on at least one professional source in addition to your class notes.  Also – do not discuss prevention here – you’ll be discussing prevention in subsequent questions! (Suggested length: at least two good paragraphs.  Be sure to include in-text citations to all professional and scholarly sources for this answer here.    These sources must be fully cited in your bibliography, which comprises your answer to question #6.)
