Description
This tool, reviewed by Science NetLinks, is a case study that introduces students to the genetic basis of cancer development. Students are introduced to a fictional 20-year-old female who sunburns easily and has several other melanoma risk factors. One day, she discovers that a mole on her leg has started to itch. The case study follows her actions as she gets the mole checked out by her doctor and learns more about cancer in the process. Teaching notes written by the authors provide answers to questions and exercises as well as suggestions for use.
