-: Hi, everyone.
I hope that you had a great first week of the course.
This week we'll be discussing cancers
of the respiratory system.
We're going to cover lung cancer, laryngeal cancer
and cancers of the lip and oral cavity.
We'll discuss trends in cancer incidents and mortality,
cancer risk factors and cancer prevention
among these anatomical sites of cancer.
This week, the second assignment of the course
is due on Sunday.
In this assignment,
you're going to create a literature review
for your final presentation topic.
It's important to begin this assignment early
as it involves identifying
and critically reading several articles
that will form the basis of your final project.
Additionally, we have some textbook readings
and supplementary readings that are listed
in the module below.
Your assignments this week are to participate in Yellowdig
and to complete the quiz at the end of the module,
as well as to complete the literature review.
I left a video below describing some
of the ways that you can find articles
for the literature review, and I heavily encourage you all
to utilize the resources that the University
of Vermont Library and on PubMed to search
for articles and screen articles that you might use
for your literature review
by reading the abstract and by looking
at keywords in the article titles and article summaries.
As always, if you have any questions,
please reach out to me and let me know.
I'm happy to answer any questions
or chat more about the topics from this week.
I hope you all have a wonderful week.
