Boston Leadership Institute Oncology 2025

This program covers the study, treatment, and research of cancer, including medical radiation and surgical oncology. Students will study the tell-tale signs of cancer, tackle the complex process of diagnosing, including the staging process, and provide a prognosis to a mock patient. From here, students will study treatments including chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Theyll examine the effects, both positive and negative, of radical procedures, and theyll perform mock surgeries to get a hands-on feel for removing cancer from a patients body. Additionally, students will study the anatomy of cancer itself, including the way it grows and the environments in which it thrives. Maria Lazebnik, who holds a PhD in Genetics from Tufts University School of Medicine, designed BLIs one-week Oncology program in 2018 and will return to lead program. This is a competitive admissions summer research program designed for teens. June 26-July 14, 2023 | Longwood Medical Area
