EPQ

Hi, does anyone have any title ideas for an EPQ on either oncology, cardiology or haematology? I want to do it on something that I’m interested in and that I can evaluate.

Well, what do you have so far? Resource wise? Make sure you pick something that has an ongoing debate so you can look at both sides of it - preferably something ethics based as those are always easiest to talk about.
Some current oncology debates you can choose to talk about; precision medicine, immunotherapy, cancer screening guidelines, access to cancer treatment, roles of AI, cost of cancer treatment, genetic editing & CRIPSR (super interesting, would make a great EPQ IMO.), palliative care vs aggressive treatment, biomarker testing,
Cardiology debates; use of statins, screening for cad, hypertension management, PCI vs CABG, TAVR vs SAVR, anticoagulation therapy, HFpEF vs HFrEF, cardiac rehabilitation
Haematology debates; gene therapy, use of CAR-T cell treatment, anemia management, bone marrow transplants, MDS treatment, blood transfusion practices, use of biosimilars, CLL treatment strategies, thrombophilia testing, iron chelation therapy

Thank you so much! I’m struggling to find resources or examples of them as my school is quite dismissive of people doing an EPQ. 😕
