The effects of process-focused versus experience-focused narratives in a breast cancer treatment decision task
Conclusions: Process narratives appeared to guide information search, and experience narratives improved evaluations of the decision process.Practice implications: There is no evidence that process and experience narratives ‘bias’ decisions in the same manner as outcome narratives. Further, their potential to focus patient attention on key information and increase patient confidence in decision making appears significant.

Association between the American Board of Internal Medicine's General Internist's Maintenance of Certification Requirement and Mammography Screening for Medicare Beneficiaries
Breast cancer is a leading cause of death in the United States. Continuing medical education programs such as the American Board of Internal Medicine's Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program can increase early detection of cancers by educating physicians about the benefits of screening. Did the imposition of American Board of Internal Medicine's MOC requirement affect guideline-compliant mammography screening?

Blended Learning in Radiology: Evaluation of a Nationwide Training Program on Breast Imaging
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women; its incidence is higher in developed countries but its relative mortality is greatest in less developed countries [1]. Radiologists play a significant role in screening, diagnosis, and follow-up of this disease, forcing them to be constantly training and updating. Continuing medical education programs allow radiologists to keep up-to-date with the latest procedures, techniques, and information on their specialty; however, traditional learning methods have not been effective in improving the performance of professionals, requiring innovative programs to personalize learning [2].

Is it possible to align the teaching of radiology in undergraduate medicine with that employed in graduate and continuing medical education courses?
Abstract Sarcomas of the breast belong to a heterogeneous group of breast tumors of mesenchymal origin, without epithelial components. These tumors can be primary or secondary (after previous treatment for breast cancer), are rare, present aggressive behavior, and have a poor prognosis. They occur mainly in women between 45 and 50 years of age, with the exception of angiosarcomas, which can occur in younger patients. Clinically, breast sarcomas manifest as palpable, mobile, rapidly growing masses, without skin thickening, axillary lymphadenopathy, or nipple discharge. Although the imaging findings are non specific, they ca...

Q&A: Dr. John Mazziotta on the future of UCLA’s medical school and health system
Earlier in his life, Dr. John C. Mazziotta thought about becoming an architect. With a keen eye for form and function, he would apply his skills to the construction of great buildings. Instead, he chose medicine. Now, after more than 30 years at UCLA — where he has been chair of the department of neurology, an associate vice chancellor and executive vice dean, and founding director of the Ahmanson-Lovelace Brain Mapping Center — that style of visual thinking will serve him well in his new roles as vice chancellor for UCLA Health Sciences, dean of the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and CEO of UCLA Health. “Th...

Teaching adjuvant endocrine breast cancer treatment to medical students.
This study was conducted in the Bachelor Oncology Course for undergraduate students in Medical Science of the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre. In the experimental group, students designed and created a patient education poster in small groups. In the control group, students answered case-based questions in small groups. Knowledge was tested at different moments using multiple-choice questions. To assess perceived participation and satisfaction, students filled out questionnaires. Results: 329 students participated in the study. No difference in knowledge was observed between the experimental and control group. H...

The Effect of Patient Narratives on Information Search in a Web-Based Breast Cancer Decision Aid: An Eye-Tracking Study
Conclusions: The observed increase in fixation duration with video patient testimonials is consistent with the idea that the vividness of the video content could cause greater elaboration of the message, thereby encouraging greater information search. Conversely, because reading requires more effortful processing than watching, reading patient narratives may have decreased participant motivation to engage in more reading in the remaining sections of the Web decision aid. These findings suggest that the format of patient stories may be equally as important as their content in determining their effect on decision making. Mor...
