Linguistics Issue (3)



Model Article of a Funnel Introduction

[Cells are the smallest units and the basic building blocks of the body's structures. A baby is born with all the cells needed to develop into a full-grown adult. Even though they are present in a child's body, some cells may not become fully mature until certain stages in the child's development (for example, puberty). The human body is made up of trillions of cells. Each cell has its own structure and specific function. Cells of the same type are grouped together to form tissues (such as the lining of the intestine or the surface of the skin). Several types of tissue together form an organ (such as the lungs, liver, bladder, heart and bones). A single organ can contain billions of cells. Even though these cells may not be identical, they work together to perform a specific function.General Statements] [The human body is a complex system made up of many different types of cells.Thesis Statement]

Astonishing Statistics and Facts

In 2016, an estimated 57,740 new cancer cases and 16,910 cancer deaths will occur among Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. This year’s special section reviews cancer in this population, including incidence and mortality rates with a focus on major cancers and those with higher rates in this population, as well as the prevalence of cancer risk factors and screening. It is intended to inform anyone interested in learning more about cancer in Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders, including policy makers, researchers, clinicians, cancer control advocates, patients, and caregivers.




Historical Backdrop

The origin of the word cancer is credited to the Greek physician Hippocrates (460-370 BC), who is considered the “Father of Medicine.” Hippocrates used the terms carcinos and carcinoma to describe non-ulcer forming and ulcer-forming tumors. In Greek, these words refer to a crab, most likely applied to the disease because the finger-like spreading projections from a cancer called to mind the shape of a crab. The Roman physician, Celsus (28-50 BC), later translated the Greek term into cancer, the Latin word for crab. Galen (130-200 AD), another Greek physician, used the word oncos (Greek for swelling) to describe tumors. Although the crab analogy of Hippocrates and Celsus is still used to describe malignant tumors, Galen’s term is now used as a part of the name for cancer specialists –oncologists.
