2. FROM LOOKING AT THE PATHOLOGY REPORT, WHAT INFORMATION DO YOU KNOW?

From looking at the Pathology Report you can tell that Jonathan Woolsey has breast cancer on the left breast and the sentinel lymph node biopsy. He received radical mastectomy. Cancer a cured here because he was lacking cytoskeleton ans spindle fibers.

3. HOW CAN YOU FIND OUT WHAT THIS INFORMATION MEANS?

You can find out what this information means by reading what the clinical history is. If you read the history, you can find out that someone has breast cancer on the left breast and they had a left radical mastectomy to remove it. It also shows how big the tumor was that had been removed. In addition, if you look at the patient information you would see that his name was Jonathon Woolsey, he is a male, his patient ID number, and that he was born on January 7, 1950, which shows he is 61 years old. If you put all of the pieces together, you would know the point in this paper, which was to state all of the information about a man with breast cancer.

 * 2) When did he realize he had cancer?
 * 3) What caused his cancer?
