A weakness of the article was the fact that a convenience sample comprised of 61 oncology nurses from a university-affiliated hospital was used (Russell, 2016). Because it provides little opportunity for bias, it is seen as a weak approach (Grove, Gray, & Burns, 2015, p. 264). Although this approach is seen as weak, it was appropriate

the cancer was a cause of death for 580,350 people ( The American Cancer Society 2013). The aim of this project is to evaluate all aspects of proton therapy. It will be argued that proton therapy is the most effective treatment for cancer conventional treatments. The most established types of cancer treatment such as chemical therapy or chemotherapy and surgery will be discussed. The proton therapy as a contemporary type of radiation oncology, which is used in only a few countries, will be analyzed
or a radiologist, offers cancer patients different routes for treatment care. All of the treatments revolving around the oncological field require radiological involvement, hence clinical imaging. Clinical imaging involves radiation and the help from radiologists, doctors specializing in treating diseases through clinical

In current society, cancer is one of the most fatal and prevalent diseases to exist. However, new research being conducted on telomeres and telomerase provides insight on not only the aging process and mortality of cells, but also on how the idea of cell death connects to cancer cells. By gaining knowledge on the supposed immortality of cancer cells, researchers are acquiring a higher understanding of the subject, and attempting to work on alternate techniques to provide treatment for the illness

As a result, the authors conducted a thorough literature survey on the subject in order to gain insight on their topic. It is notable

These organizations’ goals are to provide the best patient care. I am dedicated to their goals, so much that I am a board member of the Wyoming Society of Radiologic Technology and editor of the state
