Blog Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to create a place where both teachers and students of the fifth grade level, and higher, can get an inside look into a “disease” that continues to impact countless people around the world today.  This entire blog will be focused around one main thesis: Liver cancer continues to impact people in our society every single day; as research continues on this area, it is important that students receive the opportunity to learn some of the basics about cancer that will help them understand a strong disease.  Within this blog we will take a closer look into these basic, but important, components of liver cancer.  What is liver cancer?  What is some of the new research being presented on liver cancer?  What does liver cancer look like?  Questions such as these, as well as others, are the driving force behind my blog.  Because there has yet to be one specific cause of liver cancer, many people underestimate just how defective liver cancer can be.  Although there has not been a specific cause identified, the American Cancer Society has estimated 23,000 people will die of liver cancer this year alone.  This number continues to grow every year.  Due to a real world experience in which I have experienced liver cancer, I find it important for students and teachers to have an opportunity to be provided with information and resources pertaining to this concept.  Liver cancer continues to impact our society each and every day.
