Relationship Between State-Level Google Online Search Volume and Cancer Incidence in the United States: Retrospective Study
Conclusions: Cancer incidence is correlated with online search volume at the state level. Search patterns were temporally associated with cancer awareness months and celebrity announcements. Online searches reflect public awareness. Advancing understanding of online search patterns could augment traditional epidemiologic surveillance, provide opportunities for targeted patient engagement, and allow public information campaigns to be evaluated in ways previously unable to be measured.

Developing an Education Pathway for Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Rapid Diagnostic Testing: Investigating Informational and Supportive Care Needs
AbstractSeveral studies have examined the informational needs of patients undergoing the breast diagnostic process where needs are highest during testing and prior to receiving a diagnosis. To aid in the development of an education pathway, we identified patient information needs. A multi-method approach to identify areas of need and to understand when and how information should be provided to patients was undertaken. The methods included an environmental scan of consumer health information, ethnographic observation of the patient clinical experience, key informant interviews, and a needs assessment survey. The data collec...

Medical Mistrust in Black Breast Cancer Patients: Acknowledging the Roles of the Trustor and the Trustee
We examined predictors of medical mistrust and relationships between medical mistrust, subscales of mistrust, and process of care factors to identify opportunities to promote positive healthcare interactions between the trustees (e.g., providers) and Black breast cancer patients, or the trustors. A secondary analysis was conducted of survey data from 210 Black women with confirmed diagnosis of invasive breast cancer. Participants completed telephone surveys consisting of questions pertaining to sociodemographics, attitudes, and beliefs about medical care and breast cancer treatments. Multiple linear regression determined f...

Researchers Want Cancer Patients To Share Their Medical Information In Search of Cures
April Doyle, a single mom from Visalia, Cal., only lets herself look three months into her future. Since she was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014, she’s tried a new treatment every three months to keep the cancer from spreading from her breast tissue to other parts of her body. But it returned: this time in her bone. She is almost out of options for her hard-to-treat cancer, but she finds comfort in online support groups where other women with metastatic breast cancer share their experiences. “Eventually we know we will exhaust all of our options until they keep coming up with more treatments,” ...

Brain Tumor Detection Using Depth-First Search Tree Segmentation
AbstractWith the advent of image processing technologies, the in-depth portion of human body can be epitomized visually to perceive abnormalities in human anatomy. Image processing is a tool for identifying the substances and obtaining information from them. Medical image processing is a stimulating area to diagnose diseases specifically, brain cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, neuro- and cardio-diseases, etc. Image segmentation is an act of segregating the images into various parts to identify a particular substance and its margins. Brain tumor is the irregular and intense growth of tissues causing cancer. The most use...

Breast surgeons updating on the thresholds of COVID-19 era: results of a multicenter collaborative study evaluating the role of online videos and multimedia sources on breast surgeons education and training.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of the study show how breast surgeons rely on videos and web platforms, mostly YouTube, when searching for training info about surgical procedures. Social media offer great opportunities for sharing knowledge and diffusion of new ideas but greater attention to their reliability is mandatory.

Bridging the Gap: A Novel Education Tool to Facilitate Interprofessional Education between Medical Radiation Sciences Students in the Clinical Setting
The purpose of this educational exercise was to facilitate interprofessional collaboration between Medical Radiation Sciences (MRS) students at Sunnybrook. This novel process provided students the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the role each MRS discipline plays in the care of a breast cancer patient, and to appreciate how these diverse responsibilities work together to achieve effective patient-centered care.

Return on Investment of a Breast Cancer Screening Program in Tanzania: Opportunity for Patient and Public Education
AbstractBreast cancer is the second incident and second cause of cancer mortality among women in Tanzania due to late-stage presentation. The screening clinic at the Ocean Road Cancer Institute (ORCI) can help detect cases early and reduce cost of treatment. We calculated the return on investment (ROI) of the ORCI breast screening clinic. Screening and treatment data of all newly diagnosed breast cancer patients seen at ORCI during 2016 –2018 were abstracted from the medical records. Also, data on time, resources, and cost of screening and treatment were obtained. The cost of treating screened patients was compared with ...

How do surgeons think they learn about communication? A qualitative study
ConclusionsThese surgeons’ understanding of communication is consistent with recent suggestions that communication education: (i) should place practitioners’ goals at its centre, and (ii) might be enhanced by approaches that support ‘mindful’ practice. By contrast, surgeons’ understanding diverged markedly from the current emphasis on ‘communication skills’. Research that explores practitioners’ perspectives might help educators to design communication curricula that engage practitioners by seeking to enhance their own ways of learning about communication.

Implementation of a Low-Cost Quality Improvement Intervention Increases Adherence to Cancer Screening Guidelines and Reduces Healthcare Costs at a University Medical Center
AbstractAdherence to US Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) cancer screening guidelines remains considerably lower than the recommendation of the Healthy People 2020 initiative. Patient populations recommended for screening are not screened at an appropriate rate, and populations not recommended for screening are inappropriately screened. Closer adherence to guidelines should improve outcomes and reduce costs, estimated to reach $158 billion/year by 2020. We evaluated whether a use of low-cost educational health maintenance (HM) card by medical residents at a university hospital could impact education and adherence t...

Needs for Cancer Education In Oman Based on the Breast Cancer Screening Program
This study aimed at estimating the proportion and predictors of OCA-screened women who had repeated mammography (adherence) and the sensitivity and specificity of the program. Demographic, screening, diagnosis, and treatment data of 13,079 women screened in the OCA mammography clinic from 2009 to 2016, and medical records of all breast cancer patients seen at Royal and Sultan Qaboos University hospitals during the same period were retrieved. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify predictors of adherence. A total of 8278 screened women over age 42 years (median age of 50 ± 8 years) were included in t...
