The first topic I've been looking into is oncology. If I choose to do my project on this, I think I would try to focus on medical oncology (and then specify further, maybe hematological oncology) I'm not sure exactly what I would do for this project but it is something that is really interesting to me. I'm hoping that, if I do go this route, I'll be able to get in touch with one of the oncologists in town and that he will help me further research this topic. Some blood cancers include leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma, and if I do my project on this, I would probably choose to focus on one of these. Leukemia is the most common cancer, and the leading cause of cancer related death, in children and teens. The reason this topic is of interest to me is because I plan on going into medical oncology when I'm older and when I shadowed in the oncology department this summer, some of the most interesting cases were cancers of the blood.
