<v ->Hi everyone, and welcome to module six.</v>

00:00:04.890 --> 00:00:06.270
Congratulations on making it

3
00:00:06.270 --> 00:00:08.460
to the final module of the course.

4
00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:10.230
I hope that you enjoyed learning about cancers

5
00:00:10.230 --> 00:00:12.630
of the male reproductive system last week.

6
00:00:12.630 --> 00:00:14.460
This week, we will be discussing cancers

7
00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:17.970
of the urinary tract, endocrine system, and skin.

8
00:00:17.970 --> 00:00:19.920
We will cover urinary bladder cancer,

9
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:23.100
kidney cancer, thyroid cancer, adrenal cancer,

10
00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:26.820
malignant melanoma, and non-melanoma skin cancer.

11
00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:28.650
As always, we'll structure our discussion

12
00:00:28.650 --> 00:00:31.050
around trends in cancer incidence and mortality,

13
00:00:31.050 --> 00:00:34.110
cancer risk factors, and cancer prevention.

14
00:00:34.110 --> 00:00:36.510
Good job on last week's presentations.

15
00:00:36.510 --> 00:00:38.610
This week, we will jump into the final assignment

16
00:00:38.610 --> 00:00:41.160
of the course, the Cancer Commentary.

17
00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:43.320
This assignment is similar to an op-ed,

18
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:44.580
and it will allow you to learn more

19
00:00:44.580 --> 00:00:46.650
about a cancer topic of interest.

20
00:00:46.650 --> 00:00:48.000
Please see assignment details

21
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.420
on the assignments tab of Brightspace or in the syllabus.

22
00:00:51.420 --> 00:00:53.910
Remember to include background research on the issue,

23
00:00:53.910 --> 00:00:56.940
a call to action, correct punctuation and grammar,

24
00:00:56.940 --> 00:00:58.680
and an appropriate journal or newspaper

25
00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:01.320
to which you could submit your commentary.

26
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:03.330
Additionally, we have some textbook readings

27
00:01:03.330 --> 00:01:04.410
and supplementary readings

28
00:01:04.410 --> 00:01:06.720
that are listed in the module below.

29
00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:09.000
Your assignments this week are to participate in Yellowdig

30
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.430
and to complete the quiz at the end of the module,

31
00:01:11.430 --> 00:01:13.413
as well as submitting the commentary.

32
00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:16.140
As always, if you have any questions,

33
00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:18.000
please reach out and let me know.

34
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.290
