Career questions tagged cancer
As an aspiring PhD student, what fields combine cancer research with genetics, genomics, evolution, and outdoor field research?
I am interested in pursuing a PhD and conducting cancer research. However, I would like to combine my passions for genetics, genomics, evolution into my approach for cancer research. I also want to conduct research that involves field research (taking samples from natural systems and wildlife) to study the evolution of cancer. I would also like to compare the genomes of highly resistant organisms to identify novel compounds or genetic mechanisms that can be used to develop cancer therapeutics. Given all of these interests, what fields do I apply to?
Liver Cancer in Vietnam?
I'm Shiloh, an 8th grader who's doing a research project about a country from Southeast Asia, and I chose Vietnam. We needed to study a public health issue there, and mine is liver cancer. I made questions to ask for people related in this field and has seen the impact in Vietnam or globally. To anyone is interested in answering, I would be glad! - What should the government and society improve in order to prevent liver cancer before the disease develops? - Where are the areas in Vietnam with the highest rate of liver cancer? - Which groups of people are most vulnerable to developing liver cancer? - When did liver cancer start becoming a major public health issue in Vietnam? - What factors contribute to the high prevalence of liver cancer in these areas and among these populations? - How is the Vietnamese government preparing to address and prevent this issue in the future? - Why do hepatitis B and C remain major risk factors for liver cancer in Vietnam, even though hepatitis B can be prevented through vaccination? - To what extent do social and environmental conditions affect people's risk of developing liver cancer?
Is there any career where Genetics and Cancer research morphs into a single job?
I am drawn to genetic studies and also, I find myself really interested in Cancer treatment and research. I want to contribute to the advancements in Cancer research. I wanted to know if there are any courses through which I can become a Cancer researcher. Which course is it? What should I do after school to get that degree? How long will it take for the completion of that degree and where can I work after that? What's the average salary and what does the whole process look like? #research #biology #science #medicine #phD #lab #cancer

Postgraduate options for cancer immunology
I am looking for reputable postgraduate schools in the above-mentioned programmes with no GRE requirements and lots of scholarship options/no tuition fees (similar to EU universities but the programme is taught in English). Are there similar universities in the USA or am I limited to EU? #medicine #biology #cancer #immunology
What is it like to work in a hospital with children who have cancer?
My other career is to be children's cancer hospital because I want to help kids with cancer and make their life better and try to help them with their life's and their dream to be because I always think what happen if one of my family has cancer and I don't want anyone to die from cancer.

With better cancer medications available, is a career in radiation therapy a good career to get into or is it slowing down?
I am starting college in the fall for pre-radiation therapy. Getting into a radiation therapy program is very difficult as they only take 7 student. So, I know that they are not graduating many therapists per year. Also, there are only 2 universities in my state that even offer the program. #medicine #healthcare #therapy #oncology #cancer #radiation #cancer-research
Which courses should I take in college if I want to work as a researcher after I graduate?
I want to study science in college and work as a researcher in cancer, but I do not know which courses I need to take in college to accomplish my goal. #science #research #cancer
