3. INTRODUCTION
Cancer, also known as a malignant tumour or malignant neoplasm, is a group of
diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other
parts of the body. Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (Malaysian Health Ministry) has
assigned us to conduct a survey to study the understanding level of female and male
students in Taylor’s University on a common chronic diseases in Malaysia, which is lung
cancer.
Lung cancers start in the cells lining the bronchi and in other parts of the lung such
as the bronchioles or alveoli. Lung cancer is often a life-threatening disease because it
tends to spread in this way even before it can be detected on an imaging test such as a
chest x-ray. There are two major types of lung cancer, namely non-small cell lung cancer
(NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). There are 3 main subtypes of NSCLC,
namely Adenocarcinoma, Squamous cell carcinoma and Large cell carcinoma.
According to statistics, lung cancer is one of the most common cancers with high
mortality rate. In Malaysia, lung cancer is the 2nd most common cancer affecting men and
3rd most common cancer with 2,100 Malaysians diagnosed each year. Causes of lung
cancer include tobacco smoking, passive smoking and exposure to certain toxins. By far
the biggest cause of lung cancer is smoking. It causes more than 8 out of 10 cases (86%)
including a small proportion caused by exposure to second hand smoke in non-smokers
(passive smoking). People exposed to environmental tobacco smoke at work or at home
have their risk of lung cancer increased by about a quarter compared to people who are
not exposed to it. Heavy exposure to environmental tobacco smoke at work has been
shown to double the risk of lung cancer.
The stage of lung cancer refers to the extent to which the cancer has spread in the
body. Lung cancer does not cause any symptoms until they have spread too far to be
cured, but symptoms do occur in some people with early lung cancer. Symptoms include
cough (often with blood), chest pain, wheezing, and weight loss. Treatments may include
surgery alone, but also might include chemotherapy, radiation, or a combination of these.
The general prognosis of lung cancer is poor because doctors tend not to find the disease
until it is at an advanced stage.

4. OBJECTIVE
Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (Malaysian Health Ministry) had engaged us to
conduct a survey regarding the understanding level of female and male students in
Taylor’s University on one of the common chronic diseases in Malaysia. This survey
focuses to compare how much male and female students understand about that particular
disease. We, as a team, are required to research the fact of one of the common chronic
diseases in Malaysia, which is lung cancer and compare the facts with understanding of
each category of students to conclude which group understands better on that disease.
This had created an opportunity for us to get exposed to and learn more about lung cancer
to a greater depth. Through the survey that we have conducted, we gained knowledge on
the ways to collect and organise statistical data. We are also given an opportunity to apply
the knowledge gained to analyse statistical data and draw conclusion from the data. From
this project, we had understood and applied fundamental mathematical principles,
statistics.

5. METHODOLOGY
In a group of five, a survey of Lung Cancer has been conducted for five days from October
14 - 16 & October 19 - 20. All of the survey questionnaires were printed out in the
hardcopy form to enable the collection and analysis of data to be done in a more
systematic manner. The survey questionnaires were distributed equally among 130 male
and female students respectively which sums up to a total of 260 students. Our target are
focused mainly on the students only. Survey questionnaires have been distributed to
students within different area of the campus.

6. The next method is to analyse and tabulate the data into our own finding. So we held a
meeting the next day, after collecting all the finished survey forms individually done by
students of Taylor’s University. During the meeting, we as a group member helped out
each other to analyse all the statical data together and compile it into a source of
information, in order to allow us to develop the final report compilation. Meanwhile, we had
analyse the data for each question, and calculate the average marks of student using the
mean formula, which is

25. CONCLUSION
The collected data and information have been gathered and tabulated to determine
the understanding regarding the level of female and male students in Taylor’s University on
a common chronic diseases in Malaysia, which is lung cancer. Based on the analysis, only
30% of the overall respondents have achieved a certain level of understanding the chronic
disease of lung cancer, in which they manage to answer more than half of the questions
correctly. Besides, there are also a few questions which the majority has gotten it wrong.
One of it includes the question regarding whether lung cancer can be affected by other
types of cancer. Many of the respondent answered No which the answer is Yes. Lung
cancer can be affected by other types of cancer are caused by abnormal mutation of cells
in the body. Cancer cells can eventually spread out to other parts of body.
Other than that, many respondents didn't know that surgery is critical as a treatment
for a lung cancer patient. Most of the respondents chose biomedical engineering as the
answer for that question. It is a surprise finding for us that most of the people believe with
biomedical engineering could help in treating lung cancer, instead of going on a surgery
treatment. Moreover, most of the respondents as in equivalent to 87% of the students are
not sure whether in which age category does lung cancer will most affected. Lung cancer
mostly affected in the age category 41-60. It is believe that they have the schema which
youngsters nowadays like to smoke therefore youngsters will most probably affected by
lung cancer, and that is why they answered wrongly.
On the other hand, most of the respondents which are equivalent to 68% of them
answered correctly regarding the whether does lung cancer only affects smokers which
majority answer No which is the correct answer of the question. It is know that they are
also other internal and external factors which may cause lung cancer such as genetic
mutation in an individual or the exposure to radiation.
Last but not least, from the overall finding of our, we can conclude that female
respondent actually did score better than male respondent, which means they the females
have a better understanding of lung cancer than males. However, the level of
understanding of the overall respondents was a disappointment.
