Perceptions of the Cure for Cancer Across Age Groups

Although the United States seems to be progressing
more than ever in both culture and science, more
people are getting cancer than in prior history. Not
only are there more cancer patients, but the majority
of cancer patients in the U.S. rely on traditional treatments
such as Chemotherapy and Radiation. In eastern
societies, not only are there fewer cases overall,
but they tend to rely on eastern medicine treatments
such as herbs and different foods as treatment
options. Even though billions of dollars are being
raised to aid in cancer research in the U.S. alone, it
is not often you hear about new advancements that
change the landscape. This project explores people’s
attitudes towards cancer and its cure based on
demographics such as age.
