Identifying Primary Care Physicians Continuing Education Needs by Examining Clinical Practices, Attitudes, and Barriers to Screening Across Multiple Cancers
AbstractPopulation-based cancer screening for cervical, breast, and colorectal cancers improves patient outcomes, yet screening rates remain low for some cancers. Despite studies investigating physician perceptions and practices for screening, many have focused on individual cancers and lack primary care physicians ’ (PCPs) realities around screening for multiple cancers. We surveyed 887 PCPs in British Columbia (BC) to examine practices, beliefs, barriers, and learning needs towards cancer screening across breast, cervical, colorectal, prostate, as well as hereditary predisposition to cancer. Survey results identified d...

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.

What Do We Know About Education in Colorectal Cancer Prevention?—Survey Among 1130 Medical Students
Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a global public health problem. The degree of knowledge on CRC among medical students, future physicians, brings essential implications for their patients. Therefore, to acquire information about students’ knowledge on CRC, a questionnaire survey was conducted in Medical University of Lublin, Poland, with a representative sample of 1130 medical students (basic vs. clinical 552 vs. 578; male vs. female 442 vs. 688). The questionnaire was anonymous and designed in a four-section scheme (CRC risk factors, CRC prevention, CRC symptoms, CRC screening methods). There was a significa...

Cancer Care Continuum Research and Educational Innovation: Are Academic Internists Keeping up with Population Trends?
AbstractAcademic internists play a unique role in conducting innovative research, developing educational curricula, and influencing policy. As the population of patients living with and beyond cancer is expected to reach 22 million by 2030, it is essential for academic internists to lead innovative research in clinical care and medical education across the cancer care continuum. We characterized cancer-related topics presented at the 2015 –2019 annual meetings of the Society of General Internal Medicine, a national organization of over 3,000 academic general internists. We analyzed all scientific (n = 3,437), Innovat...

Developing a Novel Interactive Colorectal Cancer Educational Session for First-Year Medical Students to Enhance Interest in Public Health
AbstractMedical students need more exposure to and a greater understanding of their role in public health throughout their training, which may influence more of them to pursue careers in public health or change how they practice medicine in the future. A novel colorectal cancer education session was created for first year medical students to attempt to increase public health interest, improve colorectal cancer knowledge and discuss barriers to colorectal cancer screening. We constructed a novel integrated interactive peer led colorectal cancer educational session of panelists with a wide range of experiences in colorectal ...

Identifying the Needs of Primary Care Providers Caring for Breast and Colon Cancer Survivors in the Safety-Net: a Qualitative Study
AbstractAs the number of cancer survivors continues to increase and given the shortage of oncology clinicians in safety net health care settings, primary care providers (PCPs) in these settings will increasingly provide cancer survivorship care. In order to ensure equitable care for low-income and underserved breast and colon cancer survivors, it is essential to understand the safety-net PCPs ’ perspective. We conducted semi-structured, in-depth qualitative interviews with 11 PCPs working in a safety-net health care system to identify their needs in caring for cancer survivors. Interviews were audio-recorded and professi...

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...

Finding Medical Care for Colorectal Cancer Symptoms: Experiences Among Those Facing Financial Barriers
Financial barriers can substantially delay medical care seeking. Using patient narratives provided by 252 colorectal cancer patients, we explored the experience of financial barriers to care seeking. Of the 252 patients interviewed, 84 identified financial barriers as a significant hurdle to obtaining health care for their colorectal cancer symptoms. Using verbatim transcripts of the narratives collected from patients between 2008 and 2010, three themes were identified: insurance status as a barrier (discussed by n = 84; 100% of subsample), finding medical care (discussed by n = 30; 36% of subsample) and, insurance compani...

Men ’s Experience of Virtual Simulation to Aid Patient Education for Radiation Treatment to the Prostate
Prostate cancer affects more than 3000 New Zealand men each year and many of these men receive radiation treatment (Ministry of Health, 2011). This type of treatment is complex and requires patients to have a full bladder and empty rectum to aid in the treatment delivery and minimise side effects. These concepts can be difficult to explain to patients and current education involves verbal and written materials. VERT (Virtual Environment Radiotherapy Training system) is a 3D immersive teaching tool that can visually simulate and demonstrate how radiation treatment is delivered to the prostate.

Mp85-09 directed education and management by a sexual medicine specialist increases sexual function satisfaction following colorectal surgery
Colorectal cancer surgery is highly correlated with postoperative sexual dysfunction. Oncologic providers may not focus on this quality of life issue or routinely refer to a sexual medicine specialist (SM). We developed a sexual health education and treatment protocol and hypothesized that referral to a SM specialist would improve sexual function and psychosocial adjustment compared to usual care (UC).

Abstract A40: Promoting colorectal cancer education: A partnership facilitated program evaluation examining generalizability across diverse populations
Conclusion: This study examined the generalizability of a partnership-facilitated CRC educational program and assessment tool across different US populations and its effectiveness in increasing CRC knowledge as well as behavioral intention to obtain CRC screening and disseminate CRC information. This study suggests that the IC is an effective educational tool for increasing cancer knowledge and behavioral intentions among diverse ethnic populations. Complementing the IC intervention with access to free CRC screening, such as the FOBT kits, has the potential to address the CRC mortality disparities through the promotion of ...
