Poster Gallery

In this year long independent study, after reading and condensing information from a multitude of sources, I have compiled a collection of posters about various types of cancers. The eight posters include information about different causes, risk factors, methods of diagnosis, and treatments for these cancers. The collection is intended to better understand the direction of cancer research, while simultaneously helping educate the public about this topic.
Printing is not supported at the primary Gallery Thumbnail page. Please first navigate to a specific Image before printing.
