The workshop will help students understand the role of research in contributing to the development of evidence based methods for prevention, diagnosis and treatments for cancer.

Did you know that in 2024 there were an estimated 6,360 deaths due to cancer in Arkansas? Arkansas is ranked 45th among all states for the highest lung cancer mortality and has a higher mortality rate of other cancers as well, including colorectal.

Are you curious to know about how researchers study cancer?
