Prostate cancer early detection among primary care physicians in Mexico: A cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: A low rate of PCP performs PCa-ED and using concepts outside evidence-based recommendations. A national program on PCa-ED and continuing medical education for PCP are a promising strategy to improve PCa-ED.PMID:33784274 | DOI:10.24875/CIRU.20000232

The value of prostate cancer support groups: a pilot study of primary physicians' perspectives
Conclusions: Findings suggest PPs highly valued the role and potential benefits of PCSGs. Information provision and an educational role were perceived as key benefits amid the need to improve local and provincial marketing of PCSGs. The potential for web-based PCSGs to help in the support of PCa patients was also recognized.

A Qualitative Study on Decision ‐Making by Prostate Cancer Physicians during Active Surveillance
ConclusionThese qualitative data reveal which factors influence physicians that manage patients on AS. There is tension between providing standardized care while also considering individual patients’ needs and health status. Additional education on active surveillance is needed during urology training and continuing medical education. Future research is needed to empirically understand whether any specific protocol is superior to tailored, individualized care.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract A59: Providing care for LGBTQ individuals with cancer: A call for education and training
Conclusions: Survey results indicate that oncology providers in specialties where LGBTQ patients may be disproportionately affected are accepting of LGBTQ individuals and acknowledge the existence of unique needs for this population, yet are largely unaware of specific health behaviors and risk factors of, and best practices regarding, this population. This study also highlights the potential need for improved LGBTQ-related content in health professional school curricula, as well as for continuing education and training for providers that addresses the care of LGBTQ patient populations.Citation Format: Christina Tamargo, J...

Therapeutic Patterns and Barriers to the Treatment of Advanced Prostate  Cancer: A Survey of Academic and Community Urologists in the United States
Conclusions Similarities and differences were observed between community and academic urologists regarding the treatment of patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer and barriers to treatment. Understanding these comparisons may assist in developing educational activities to improve urologist knowledge and, ultimately, patient care in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer.

Is Movember synonymous with moustaches or men's health? An examination of internet search activity for prostate and testicular cancer during the campaign
ConclusionWe concluded that the Movember campaign is consistently linked in the public consciousness with novelty facial hair and only weakly associated with an awareness of prostate and testicular cancers. Whilst the funding generated by the campaign should be commended, more could be done to link the campaign and moustaches to awareness of common male cancers.

Improving Access to Patient Education: an Audit of Extant Educational Materials
AbstractHealth information exchange between provider and patient, along with patient participation in their care (self-management), can lead to improved health outcomes. A step towards achieving better outcomes is the systematic provision of education materials to patients and caregivers throughout the cancer trajectory. An audit of patient education (PE) materials was conducted at a cancer center to identify content gaps and determine areas for future development. The PE audit was conducted in all outpatient clinics (13) and clinic-specific PE materials were identified, reviewed, and categorized by cancer type and under t...

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,” ...

Amino Acid Profiles of Serum and Urine in Search for Prostate Cancer Biomarkers: a Pilot Study.
Authors: Dereziński P, Klupczynska A, Sawicki W, Pałka JA, Kokot ZJ Abstract There is a great interest in searching for diagnostic biomarkers in prostate cancer patients. The aim of the pilot study was to evaluate free amino acid profiles in their serum and urine. The presented paper shows the first comprehensive analysis of a wide panel of amino acids in two different physiological fluids obtained from the same groups of prostate cancer patients (n = 49) and healthy men (n = 40). The potential of free amino acids, both proteinogenic and non-proteinogenic, as prostate cancer biomarkers and their utility in classi...

Development of an Education Resource for Post-Prostatectomy Prostate Cancer Patients Who Require Radiotherapy
Radiotherapy (RT) after prostatectomy is indicated to prevent local recurrence while improving biochemical control and disease-free survival. Most prostate cancer patients do not receive adequate information about post-prostatectomy radiotherapy to make informed treatment decisions. In an effort to improve patient care and knowledge, we developed an online education resource for patients and healthcare providers about post-prostatectomy radiotherapy.

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.

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. ...
