Development and Implementation of a Continuing Medical Education Program in Canada: Knowledge Translation for Renal Cell Carcinoma (KT4RCC)
The objective of this study was to develop a CME program and determine if the program was effective for improving participant knowledge. CME programs for clinicians were delivered by local experts (uro-oncologist and medical oncologist) in four Canadian cities. Participants completed knowledge assessment tests pre-CME, immediately post-CME, and 3-month post-CME. Test questions were related to topics covered in the CME program including prognostic factors for advanced disease, surgery for advanced disease, indications for hereditary screening, systemic therapy, and management of small renal masses. Fifty-two participants at...

Basal cell carcinoma
As the most common human cancer worldwide and continuing to increase in incidence, basal cell carcinoma is associated with significant morbidity and cost. Continued advances in research have refined both our insight and approach to this seemingly ubiquitous disease. This 2-part continuing medical education series provides a comprehensive and contemporary review of basal cell carcinoma. The second article in this series will present both the current standard of care and newly developed approaches to diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of this disease.

Etiologies and management of cutaneous flushing
The second article in this 2-part continuing medical education series reviews the following malignant causes of flushing: mastocytosis, medullary thyroid carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, carcinoid tumors, gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, bronchogenic carcinoma, vasointestinal polypeptide secreting tumors, and renal cell carcinoma. The information provided will allow physicians to better distinguish patients who have worrisome presentations that require a more thorough investigation. Appropriate diagnostic workup and treatment options for these malignancies are reviewed.

Reflectance confocal microscopy
(RCM) is a high-resolution, noninvasive tool that is currently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for obtaining and interpreting images of the skin and cutaneous neoplasms with the goal of decreasing unnecessary biopsy procedures in patients with benign lesions. The second article in this continuing medical education series focuses on identifying key criteria for the diagnosis of common skin cancers —melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.

Racial and ethnic health disparities in dermatology in the United States. Part 2: Disease-specific epidemiology, characteristics, management, and outcomes
Racial and ethnic disparities in dermatology negatively affect outcomes such as mortality and quality of life. Dermatologists and dermatologic surgeons should be familiar with disease-specific inequities that may influence their practice. The second article in this 2-part continuing medical education series highlights gaps in frequency, clinical presentation, management, and outcomes by race and ethnicity. We review cutaneous malignancies including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and inflammatory disorders includ...

Indian Council of Medical Research consensus document on hepatocellular carcinoma
Indian J Med Res. 2020 Nov;152(5):468-474. doi: 10.4103/ijmr.IJMR_404_20.ABSTRACTThis document aims to assist oncologists in making clinical decisions encountered while managing their patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), specific to Indian practice, based on consensus among experts. Most patients are staged by Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging system which comprises patient performance status, Child-Pugh status, number and size of nodules, portal vein invasion and metastasis. Patients should receive multidisciplinary care. Surgical resection and transplant forms the mainstay of curative treatment. Ablat...
