Hi,

Can you please elaborate on what you are trying to do or study? What type of cancer are you looking at?

Here is our Science Buddies page about variables: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... bles.shtml

Cancer has a number of variables...environmental, DNA damage, etc.

I suggest that you first begin by researching the topic (its a big topic!) and continue narrowing down your ideas to construct a hypothesis.

Here are some sites to help you:

Take Care!
