Oncology Research Project Each student will select and research a form of cancer. Any disease from the list provided on the ACS website may be selected. Once a choice has been selected it is off the list. There can be no duplication. If a student wants to research something not on the list, he/she must get approval from Mr. Heck.

To see the list go to http://www.cancer.org/cancer/index

Each student will organize and present their research in a PowerPoint or similar type presentation. The project should be divided into 4 sections as listed in the table below. The data requirements for each section are listed. Illustrations are very important. Information gathered should be summarized and delivered in the student’s own words.
