Study Sample
The study will be focused on 350 diagnosed Cancer patients between the years 2012 through
2018. My research will include both male and female participants, not transgender, because I
want to investigate the relationship between Cancer and Gender, that is, Male and Female,
alone.
Data Collection:
My investigation will be collected from Medical City Dallas hospital records department and
the Cancer registry, Dallas, Texas. I will get an updated and authentic information on the
number of recorded Cancer patients (both Male and Female) for my intended period, which
is 2012 through
