Lab reports have many parts, they organize a scientist\'s thoughts, the procedures used during an experiment, and the results and conclusions that came from the experiment. They give the critical details needed for another scientist to replicate the work. They also give us a \"behind the scenes\" view of what happened.

Suppose you were asked to read a lab report entitled \"A Cure for Renal Cancer\". What specific parts of the report would be most important, and why?

Solution

Cure for renal cancer

Causes for renal cancer

This would help in finding the causative agents that leads to renal cancer, which in turn help to find out the target for treatment.

Therapeutic target

The most important step in finding a cure/ treatment option is to find an appropriate target for the treatment. This involves finding out a specific gene or protein and their associated pathway in which they are involved. Certain molecules would enhance cancer cell proliferation and certain would act as tumor suppressor, by targeting these we could either inhibit or induce accordingly and find a solution.

Adverse effects

By finding out the adverse effects of the treatment either due anticancer agents or radiotherapy, we can try to minimize them, only then the treatment would be successful.
