Preface:

Cancer describes a large spectrum of diseases that originate from uncontrolled cellular growth. This workshop will provide teacher fellows with an overview of cancer biology and clinical treatment, with a focus on career pathways in cancer research and oncology care. Faculty experts will guide teacher fellows to take a close look at cancer-related health care disparities specific to the Philadelphia community and how community outreach ef-forts can address inequities. Fellows will engage in discussion, a hands-on activity, and collaborative lesson planning with each other and with cancer center staff. Teachers of any grade level will leave the workshop with activity-based lessons ready for immediate classroom implementation.
