Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Your work should be appropriately referenced in a scientific journal style e.g. use either Harvard
system of quoting (Smith, 2004; Jones and Field, 1987; Khan et al., 2011) or Vancouver system (‘author-number’ format).
References to web pages are acceptable when no peer-reviewed source is available, but should be used cautiously, and the date at which the page was accessed should be indicated.
Students are encouraged to use a referencing software package such as Endnote or Reference
Manager.
Additional information that might help explain the assignment:
Design a study with the potential to make a difference for patients living with cancer
●Must involve a cancer of unmet need
●Study must use patient material
●Methodology must be laboratory-based
●Study can be clinical or pre-clinical work
How can we help treat cancers of unmet need?
●Better understand the biology of the disease
●Earlier detection
●Develop better methods to track onset, progression and treatment response
●Develop new therapies
●Use existing therapies for the first time in these cancers
●Use cancer-biology-informed new combinations or scheduling of drugs
Determine what is the unmet need in your chosen cancer (triple negative breast cancer) and what part of that unmet need you want to address
●What has been tried so far?
●What do we still need to know about this cancer?
●What do we still need to achieve for this cancer?
The answers to these questions are your “unmet need” and the research question/purpose of
your stud
