Multimodality Imaging of Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is a very heterogeneous disease, and contemporary management is focused on identification and treatment of the prognostically adverse high-risk tumors while minimizing overtreatment of indolent, low-risk tumors. In recent years, imaging has gained increasing importance in the detection, staging, posttreatment assessment, and detection of recurrence of prostate cancer. Several imaging modalities including conventional and functional methods are used in different clinical scenarios with their very own advantages and limitations. This continuing medical education article provides an overview of available imagi...

Systemic Radiopharmaceutical Therapy of Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma
Whereas benign pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are often successfully cured by surgical resection, treatment of metastatic disease can be challenging in terms of both disease control and symptom control. Fortunately, several options are available, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgical debulking. Radiolabeled metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) and somatostatin receptor imaging have laid the groundwork for use of these radiopharmaceuticals as theranostic agents. 131I-MIBG therapy of neuroendocrine tumors has a long history, and the recent approval of high-specific-activity 131I-MIBG for metastatic or inope...

Evaluating the Knowledge Change Before and After Continuing Cancer Education in Malawian Nurses
This study evaluates the educational needs of oncology nurses in Malawi and the effects of a virtual cancer education program on improving the knowledge of cancer epidemiology, treatment, and nursing care of common cancers among oncology nurses in Malawi. The educational programs consisted of four sessions at one-month intervals focused on Cancer Screening, Survivorship, Radiation Therapy, and Complementary and Alternative Therapies. A pretest –posttest design was used. Overall, there was an increase in knowledge at each session: cancer screening (47% vs 95%), survivorship (22% vs 100%), radiation therapy (66% vs 100%), ...

The current and future role of the medical oncologist in the professional care for cancer patients: a position paper by the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO)
The number of cancer patients in Europe is rising and significant advances in basic and applied cancer research are making the provision of optimal care more challenging. The concept of cancer as a systemic, highly heterogeneous and complex disease has increased the awareness that quality cancer care should be provided by a multidisciplinary team (MDT) of highly qualified healthcare professionals. Cancer patients also have the right to benefit from medical progress by receiving optimal treatment from adequately trained and highly skilled medical professionals. Built on the highest standards of professional training and con...

Knowledge gap about immune checkpoint inhibitors among rheumatologists and medical students: a survey
AbstractPrevious studies found that physicians working in developed countries in Europe and in the USA declared insufficient knowledge concerning immune-related adverse events (irAE) following use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in cancer treatment. We determined this knowledge gap among rheumatologists and medical students (MS) in Brazil. A web-based structured survey or a direct interview was applied to 1428 board-certified Brazilian rheumatologists and an adapted questionnaire was sent to 840 undergraduate MS attending the last 2 years of Medical Schools in Fortaleza-CE, Brazil, in September 2019. 228 (15.9%) rheu...

Bridging the Gap in Global Advanced Radiation Oncology Training: Impact of a Web-Based Open-Access Interactive Three-Dimensional Contouring Atlas on Radiation Oncologist Practice in Russia
AbstractRadiation oncologists in Russia face a number of unique professional difficulties including lack of standardized training and continuing medical education. To combat this, under the auspices of the Russian Society of Clinical Oncology (RUSSCO), our group has developed a series of ongoing in-person interactive contouring workshops that are held during the major Russian oncology conferences in Moscow, Russia. Since November 2016 during each workshop, we utilized a web-based open-access interactive three-dimensional contouring atlas as part of our didactics. We sought to determine the impact of this resource on radiat...

Effect of Experiential Communication Skills Education on Graduate Medical Education Trainees' Communication Behaviors: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSIONS: This review demonstrates strong support that experiential communication skills education can impact GME trainees' communication behaviors. Marked heterogeneity in communication trainings and evaluation measures, even among subgroups, did not allow for meta-analysis or comparative efficacy evaluation of different studies. Future studies would benefit from homogeneity in curricular and evaluation measures.PMID:35857395 | DOI:10.1097/ACM.0000000000004883

Increasing the attractiveness of surgical disciplines for students: Implications of a robot-assisted hands-on training course for medical education
CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate great demand for implementing robotic training into medical education for an up-to-date curriculum. Although the decision process on career choice is widely multifactorial, stereotypes associated with surgical disciplines should be eliminated. This could have a particularly positive effect on the recruitment of female medical students since women are clearly underrepresented in surgical disciplines although currently and with increasing proportions, more female students are enrolled in medical schools then male.PMID:35937610 | PMC:PMC9349358 | DOI:10.3389/fsurg.2022.953565

Transforming Medical Education to Provide Gender-Affirming Care for Transgender and Gender-Diverse Patients: A Policy Brief
Ann Fam Med. 2023 Feb;21(Suppl 2):S92-S94. doi: 10.1370/afm.2926.ABSTRACTTransgender and gender-diverse (TGD) patients experience a greater burden of health disparities compared with their heterosexual/cisgender counterparts. Some of the poorer health outcomes observed in these populations are known to be associated with the prevalence of implicit bias, bullying, emotional distress, alcoholism, drug abuse, intimate partner violence, sexually transmitted infections (eg, human immunodeficiency virus and human papilloma virus), and cancer. The TGD populations face unique barriers to receiving both routine and gender-affirming...
