Student cancer research on display
12 OCTOBER 2010
Research into cancer education will be presented by third year clinical science students at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Orange on Friday 15 October. Community members will join CSU staff and students to discuss student research at the University Experiential Learning Centre (ELC). “The students have spent months working on their research as part of their studies,” lecturer from the School of Biomedical Sciences, Ms Sarah Hyde said. “The students conducted the research by designing and mailing out surveys, entering and analysing the data, with a surprising number of responses.” The research topics include; oral cancer awareness and its risk factors, the relationship between breast screening concordance and the location of residence, awareness and education of cancer screening in female patients, the effectiveness of the ‘three-step breast check shower card’ in increasing breast self-examination amongst CSU students; and general practitioner attitudes and knowledge concerning prostate cancer screening.
