Career questions tagged cancer-research
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?
How is the research side of medicine (ie. biochemistry and genetics) applied in practical medicine?
I was wondering on how the research leads to application in experimental trials for illnesses such as cancer or genetic illnesses that have yet to be cured. #Spring26
How do I participate in undergraduate research at a 4-year university?
Hi! I'm currently a high school senior, looking to pursue a degree in Biochemistry. I would love to also partake in cancer research while attending college to help those in need. #FALL25
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
What is the successful path to becoming an oncologist and having your own practice?
Hi,I am asking this because I want to own my own cancer research by using chemicals to slow down the rate of cancer cells. #doctor #science #cancer-research
