Development and Pilot of a Cervical Cancer Brachytherapy Simulation Training Program for Graduate Medical Education in Radiation Oncology
Brachytherapy (BT) is an integral component of curative therapy for locally advanced cervical cancer. Despite this importance, U. S. practice patterns have identified a decrease in appropriate BT use, and a corresponding decrease in overall survival with its omission. Although the ACGME requires residents to train in intracavitary BT, it does not specify a minimum number of gynecological (GYN) BT cases. To address the decline in cervical cancer BT utilization, this project aimed to improve resident GYN BT knowledge and training by developing a simulation training program for radiation oncology (RO) trainees, and to determi...

The effect of COVID-19 on the respiratory workforce and trainee education
Conclusion: This national survey in England shows that rota changes were widespread during the first wave of the pandemic. Trainee teaching was commonly cancelled, or reduced, and their clinics cancelled. Practical procedures, such as bronchoscopy, were also commonly suspended or reduced, reducing training opportunities. If similar patterns recurred in further COVID-19 waves, many trainees may require additional training which will have consequences on future workforce planning.

Shortening the Frommelt Attitude Toward the Care Of the Dying Scale (FATCOD-B): a Brief 9-Item Version for Medical Education and Practice
AbstractEnd-of-life care training has gaps in helping students to develop attitudes toward caring for the dying. Valid and reliable assessment tools are essential in building effective educational programmes. The Frommelt Attitude Toward the Care Of the Dying scale (FATCOD-B) is widely used to measure the level of comfort/discomfort in caring for the dying and to test the effectiveness of end-of-life care training. However, its psychometric properties have been questioned and different proposals for refinement and shortening have been put forward. The aim of this study is to get to a definitive reduction of the FATCOD-B th...

Treatment decision-making in the medical encounter: Comparing the attitudes of French surgeons and their patients in breast cancer care
Conclusion: Most surgeons reported adopting the “some sharing” approach. However, one patient out of three reported that they would have liked to participate more in the TDM process.Practice implications: Surgeons need to ask patients what their preferences for involvement in TDM are and then think about ways to accommodate both their own and patients’ preferences regarding the TDM process to be used in each encounter. In addition, decision aids could be offered to surgeons to help them discuss treatment options with their patients.

Indian Council of Medical Research consensus document on hepatocellular carcinoma
Indian J Med Res. 2020 Nov;152(5):468-474. doi: 10.4103/ijmr.IJMR_404_20.ABSTRACTThis document aims to assist oncologists in making clinical decisions encountered while managing their patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), specific to Indian practice, based on consensus among experts. Most patients are staged by Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging system which comprises patient performance status, Child-Pugh status, number and size of nodules, portal vein invasion and metastasis. Patients should receive multidisciplinary care. Surgical resection and transplant forms the mainstay of curative treatment. Ablat...
