Unit III Annotated Bibliography
Pick a type of cancer to research. Find articles that answer questions concerning your chosen type of cancer. This assignment will help you to organize the sources you will use in the Unit V Research Paper.
An annotated bibliography consists of two parts: the reference citation in APA format, followed by the summary for that reference.
o Describe the type of cancer you selected. o Describe the diagnosis: symptoms, diagnosis, staging, and prognosis.
o Discuss treatment options, including medicines/alternative treatments.
o Discuss causes/risk factors. o Include the incidence rate or statistics. o Explain the resources you would use if you or someone you knew had this type of cancer.
o Discuss what you can do to help the fight against cancer. o Include any other interesting facts.

o Find four to six current sources (published within the last five years).
o Note that the reference citations should be organized in alphabetical order. BIO 1030, General Biology I 3
o Summaries should not include opinions; rather, summaries should contain a short synopsis of the article, and no direct quotes should be present. End your summary with one or two sentences on why that source was selected and how it is of value to your research topic. Each summary should be at least 50 words in length.
