A Whole New World: A Medical Student ’s Reflection on the Moments Before Surgery for Breast Cancer
AbstractMedical school clerkship offers third year medical students multiple opportunities to acquire clinical experience through real patient interactions and integration into the healthcare teams of different specialties. As part of the general surgery rotation, medical students are invited to scrub in to assist with surgeries —a chance to simultaneously gain medical knowledge while developing technical skills. In what is often an impersonal experience for most patients, students are encouraged to consider the patient’s perspective throughout their surgical journey from the pre-operative to post-operative stages. In ...

Medical Student Exposure to Cancer Patients Whilst on Clinical Placement: a Retrospective Analyses of Clinical Log Books
AbstractIn Australia, one in two men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85. Several studies have demonstrated a decline in the number of medical graduates having examined cancer patients during their training. The aim of this study was to evaluate the exposure of medical students to cancer patients during clinical placements. Eighty-eight logbooks (response rate = 24.75%) containing 9430 patients were analysed. A total of 829 patients (8.79%) had a diagnosis of cancer. Most cancer patients were seen on surgical placements, whilst general practice placements returned the lowest numbers. ...

Health-Related Lifestyles and Cancer-Preventive Behaviors of Medical and Nursing Students and Family Medicine Residents in Relation to the European Code Against Cancer
The objective was to evaluate the health-related lifestyles and cancer-preventive behaviors of medical and nursing students and FM residents in relation to the European Code Against Cancer (ECAC). This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study performed in Spain. Medical and nursing students and FM residents completed a self-administered questionnaire focused on health-related habits and clinical behaviors related to the ECAC. A total of 740 participants completed the questionnaire. About 12.2% (95% CI [9.8 –14.5]) were smokers, and 77.3% (95% CI [74.3–80.3]) sporadically consumed alcohol; 34.2% (95% CI [30.8–37.6]) p...

Does Women’s Screening History Have Any Impact on Mammography Screening Attendance After Tailored Education?: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Background:
Many ethnic minority women have low attendance at breast cancer screening.
Objectives:
This brief report explores whether women’s screening histories impact mammography screening attendance after tailored education.
Research Design:
Systematic searches were conducted in 5 databases. Randomized controlled trials of educational interventions tailored to ethnic minority women that measured attendance at mammography screening were eligible for inclusion. Data extraction and risk of bias assessment were performed independently. Data were combined in a meta-analysis by using random effects models....

Redox signaling by glutathione peroxidase 2 links vascular modulation to metabolic plasticity of breast cancer Medical Sciences
In search of redox mechanisms in breast cancer, we uncovered a striking role for glutathione peroxidase 2 (GPx2) in oncogenic signaling and patient survival. GPx2 loss stimulates malignant progression due to reactive oxygen species/hypoxia inducible factor-α (HIF1α)/VEGFA (vascular endothelial growth factor A) signaling, causing poor perfusion and hypoxia, which were...

Pacemaker in patients undergoing mammography: A limitation for breast cancer diagnosis?
ConclusionAlthough rare, the coexistence of a pacemaker in patients undergoing mammography is associated with reduced image quality due to suboptimal breast visualization and reduced compression, and as a result, this may eventually lead to decreased diagnostic efficacy.

Breast Cancer Patients ’ Perceptions of a Virtual Learning Environment for Pretreatment Education
This article reports on patient feedback of a newly developed breast cancer patient education program, which integrates the VERT system as the focal education tool. The education program content included RT immobilisation, simulation, planning and treatment components, along with an introduction to the VERT system. Nineteen breast cancer patients (n = 19) completed an evaluation questionnaire at the completion of their VERT education program. Open-ended questions were used to detect the least and most useful aspects of the education session. Patient feedback indicated a high regard for the comprehensiveness of the educat...

Evaluating the Effect of a Video Education Curriculum for First Time Breast Cancer Patients: a Prospective RCT Feasibility Study
AbstractNewly diagnosed breast cancer patients seek information through a variety of sources. In this small pilot study, we evaluated the feasibility of providing personalizable breast cancer video education prior to the first oncology consultation and compared outcomes to patients receiving standard of care educational materials. Personalized videos included detailed information on a patient ’s specific grade, stage, and tumor subtype (e.g., grade 2, stage 3, triple negative breast cancer) in addition to general videos that defined the terms of grade, stage, and cancer subtype. Newly diagnosed breast cancer patients who...

An Evaluation of Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Outcomes in an Education and Patient Navigation Program in Rural and Border Texas
This study examines breast and cervical cancer screening uptake in a cancer education and patient navigation (PN) program for residents of rural and border counties in Texas by level of participation (education only, PN only, or education and PN). Data collected from March 1, 2012, to November 5, 2016, included 6663 follow-up surveys from participants aged 21 –74. Logistic regression models assessed program participation on the odds of completing breast or cervical cancer screening. For women aged 40–74 years (N = 4942; mean age = 52 years), 58.4% reported a mammogram within 6 months on average from initial ...

Does the use of shared decision-making consultation behaviors increase treatment decision-making satisfaction among Chinese women facing decision for breast cancer surgery?
Abstract: Objective: To assess the extent to which breast surgical consultations used shared decision making (SDM), identify factors associated with use of SDM, and assess if using SDM increases decision-making satisfaction.Methods: Two hundred and eighty-three video-recorded diagnostic-treatment decision consultations between breast surgeons and women with breast cancer were assessed using the Decision Analysis System for Oncology (DAS-O) coding system designed for assessing SDM behaviors. Women completed a questionnaire at pre-consultation, one-week post-consultation and one-month post-surgery. Patient outcomes included ...

Radiotherapy Learning in Medical Undergraduate Courses
Abstract
Approximately 60 % of all cancer patients receive radiotherapy as a component of their treatment. Radiation Oncology concepts, specifically, are not formally introduced to students in most traditional school curricula until their clinical rotations or may only be included as an optional elective during the core clinical clerkships. The aim of this study is to determine whether the teaching of Radiation Oncology by radiation oncologists, in the third year, in block diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, is helpful for student training and changes their attitude towards the specialty. We administered a pre...
