Evaluating Interpretations, Conclusions, and Recommendations in Light of Cancer Death Data

This section evaluates the interpretations, conclusions, and recommendations made in light of cancer death data. The data gathered from the graph shows that multiple cancers affect people of different age groups, with breast cancer affecting more than 20% of adult women globally. The strengths and weaknesses of current approaches, such as diet and exercise, are discussed. The Figure one of the provided article has been taken which discusses about the increased death rates due to multiple cancers which affects people of different age group. The resource opportunities and constraints for recommended improvements to the methodology and interpretations are also considered.

Patch 3: Evaluate the interpretations made, the conclusions reached and the recommendations made in the light of the
data gathered.
You must reproduce and explain at least one of the tables/graphs in your presentation.
You should also consider the resource opportunities and resource constraints on your recommended improvements to the
enquiry methodology and interpretations.

issue or dilemma
The topic which will be discussed in this
section is on cancer deaths.
As per World Health organisation, cancer is one
of the primary reasons for increased mortality
rates around the world and within that breast
cancer affects more than 20% of adult women
around the globe (Pernar et al. 2018).
Evaluate the
interpretations made,
the conclusions reached
and the
recommendations made
in the light of the data
gathered.
As per the data gathered from the graph

Specifically, the age group of 65 to 95 plus

higher incidence of cancer death rates.

forms of leukaemia are the high death
causing cancer rates for the teenagers. For
the childhood cancers that are aged
between the 0 to 19 years, the most
common cancer and cancer deaths are
from the nervous and brain system cancer,
and the acute lymphoid leukaemia. For the
young adults and the adolescents, the
most common form of cancer that occurs
globally was cervical cancer and breast
cancer. The main causes that lead to the
cause of the cancer death are the non-
Hodgkin lymphoma, nervous system and
brain cancer. The population that are aged
more than 39 years and the cancers that
have the highest incidence of cancers are
the colorectal cancer, prostrate, breast
and TBL. Whereas, the main contributors
of the cancer deaths are the stomach
cancer, colorectal cancer, TBL.

Strengths and
weaknesses of current
approaches
The strength of diet, exercise and other
physiological factor is that. It helps to
eliminate toxins from the body and
provide the patient with physical fitness.
Weakness of this approach is that, this

The article by Pernaret al. (2018) was able to
point out all the intervention and its strengths
and weaknesses properly.
Which table(s)/graph(s)
will be reproduced in
your presentation?
What do they show?
The Figure one of the provided article has
been taken which discusses about the
increased death rates due to multiple
cancers which affects people of different
age group.

What are the resource
opportunities and
resource constraints on
your recommended
improvements to the
enquiry methodology
and interpretations?
In this interpretation, the data were
presented in a manner, in which all the
cancer data and rates overlapped and
hence, interpretation of the data gets
affected.
It has been mentioned in the document
provided.
