Since there are different types of leukemia, there is a different treatment for all of them.

The National Cancer Institute is intended to inform people about cancer. It gives an insight of cancer for patients and their loved ones. It primarily focuses on cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis and treatment. The sight is purely science based. The article I used presented important facts and summarized Leukemia in a good manner This source is credible because it was published on November 5th, 2014. Its is a recent and up to date article. The article lacked bias, and only used facts rather than emitting diction or connotation. From the source, I was able to obtain facts about the cancer. This included the 4 major subtypes and a summary of Leukemia. The author of the article was the National Cancer Institute Staff. The staff are all medical experts in science and are credible according to scientific and medical history.

Mayo Clinic is a non profit world wide medical care association that educates and cares for patients from all walks of life. Mayo Clinic’s mission is to inspire hope and contribute to health and wellbeing by providing the best care to every patient through clinical practice, education and research. Their priorities are for the patient focus to be number one throughout the entire organization in every department in every location. More than a million people from all fifty states come to Mayo Clinic, and nearly 150 countries a year come to Mayo Clinic for care. They have been around for almost two decades and their data is fairly up to date. This source is the second most current course I have. They’re credible because they are well trusted among millions of people and they are non profit. They don’t show bias and state broad facts that represent their mission to educate.
