The Cancer Research Scholars Program (CRSP), our undergraduate student cancer-focused summer program, along with the Office of Community Outreach and Engagement (COE) partnered with the Hamilton County 513Relief Bus, an initiative that provides health screenings and social services to residents.

Dr. Rob Van Haren attended the Senior Health Conference in Avondale, hosted by the Coalition for Health Justice. He discussed the risk factors, signs and symptoms, and recommended screening for lung cancer.

This innovative program alternated between playing basketball and learning science to prove when physical activity was combined with education children stayed engaged and absorbed more information versus traditional classroom learning.

This past August, at Cancer Con, the primary conference for members of the adolescent and young adult (AYA) community, Dr. Alique Topalian gave a presentation on "Becoming Research Ready" to highlight the vital aspects of research.

Cancer Awareness months are a time to recognize specific cancers, offer educational resources, and review relevant data and discoveries that impact each. Through education and research-informed care, the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center aims to reduce suffering and mortality associated with cancer in our community and beyond.
