Timely CRC screening helps to increase CRC early detection and survival in this population. The objective of this monitoring study was to survey African American patients of Community Health Centers (CHC) in north Florida and to monitor CRC screening adherence (either stool-based or colonoscopy) after they had completed a clinical trial testing a screening education intervention. Seventy-nine African American patients who were between the ages of 45 and 64 years old at the time of initial trial recruitment completed a 24-month follow-up survey, and 44% reported stool-based CRC screening in the last year. Results from the general estimating equations (GEE) model found there was a statistically significant difference in CRC screening adherence by study arm at 24 months where the intervention group was less likely to be up to date than the usual care control (OR = 0.60, 95% CI 0.43-0.83). Married or partnered participants (OR = 1.52, 95% CI 1.31-1.77) and employed participants (OR = 1.34, 95% CI 1.17-1.53) were more likely to be adherent to screening, but female participants were less likely to be adherent (OR = 0.76, 95% CI 0.70-0.82). Participants with higher mistrust in doctors were less likely to have completed screening (OR = 0.93, 95% CI 0.88-0.99). The findings suggest the importance of screening outreach to unmarried, unemployed, female African Americans. The results of this monitoring study indicate one-on-one cancer education with a community health advisor and education on the availability and functionality of electronic patient portals have potential for increasing adherence to recommended CRC screening. The study has implications for measuring CRC screening adherence in community settings.</p>","PeriodicalId":50246,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145356558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In China, the national HPV immunization strategy has progressed from regional pilot programs to the recent announcement that HPV vaccination will be incorporated into the National Immunization Program, representing a milestone in cervical cancer control. Nevertheless, substantial challenges persist. Vaccine coverage among girls aged 9-14 years remains extremely low, with first-dose uptake estimated at only 4% in 2022. Barriers include preferences for higher-valency vaccines, public concerns over vaccine safety, misinformation on social media, and insufficient knowledge among non-specialist healthcare providers. Logistical obstacles, such as the lack of school-based mass vaccination, further reduce program efficiency. In addition, debates continue regarding optimal dosing schedules, with the World Health Organization recommending single-dose regimens, as well as the potential expansion of vaccination to older women and males.

This narrative review charts CJC's formative journey, analyzes its educational impact, and outlines forward-looking strategies to further democratize high-quality cancer care. Since 2013, CJC has convened more than 120 interactive events under the Egyptian Foundation of Medical Sciences (EFMS) umbrella, supplemented by masterclasses, simulation-based forums, and hands-on workshops that prioritize breast, thoracic, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary malignancies. A deliberate emphasis on evidence-based, resource-adapted protocols underpins these activities, fostering context-appropriate decision-making through case-linked learning and live audience polling. Independent assessments and post-event surveys demonstrate significant gains in participants' knowledge retention, clinical confidence, and treatment-planning skills, particularly among practitioners in peripheral or resource-constrained settings. Moreover, CJC's digital extensions (including livestreamed symposia and moderated social-media discussion boards) have expanded its national footprint, yielding > 30,000 cumulative virtual attendances (unique live logins and on-demand viewers from 2019-2024) and markedly lowering geographic access barriers. Building on this momentum, CJC will launch international virtual tumor boards with partners in Egypt, North Africa, the Levant, the Gulf, and globally; establish structured mentoring for early-career oncologists and allied professionals across the region; introduce AI-enabled adaptive learning modules; and develop accredited postgraduate certificate programs aligned with WHO competency frameworks. Future evaluation will also examine educational and practice impact, with a focus on expanding training, mentoring, and scholarly outputs. CJC's experience illustrates how a regional, volunteer-driven initiative can bridge oncology-education disparities through blended, scalable learning models. Its planned innovations offer a replicable blueprint for other LMIC contexts seeking to strengthen cancer-care capacity through sustained professional development and digital inclusion.</p>","PeriodicalId":50246,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145338062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Medical education is crucial in preparing future healthcare professionals to manage cancer care effectively. To compare the expectations of first-year medical students about oncology training with the actual knowledge and experiences of more advanced students. A cross-sectional, quantitative study was conducted with 373 medical students (152 first-year, 121 fourth-year, and 100 sixth-year) using structured questionnaires. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 25.0, with a 5% significance level. Most students considered oncology knowledge and training highly relevant, particularly in diagnostic methods, clinical examination, and palliative care (≥ 93%). However, significant differences emerged across years. Fourth-year students reported greater uncertainty about the relevance of diagnostic tools such as colonoscopy (p = 0.025), upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (p = 0.005), and mammography (p = 0.025), as well as hereditary syndromes (p = 0.016). Sixth-year students showed reduced endorsement of molecular testing, with 21.3% reporting neutrality. A striking gap was observed between the importance attributed to oncology internships by first-year students (≥ 84%) and the limited opportunities reported by advanced students, particularly in pathology, genetics, and radiotherapy (≤ 10% completion). Among those who completed internships, nearly all acknowledged their significant contribution to learning, especially in palliative care and clinical oncology. Despite strong recognition of oncology's importance, gaps remain between students' expectations and their actual educational experiences, particularly in genetics, molecular testing, and access to internships. Expanding structured, longitudinal, and practice-oriented oncology training is essential to prepare future physicians to meet the demands of cancer care and precision medicine.</p>","PeriodicalId":50246,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145330689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review aims to review current applications of AI in radiation oncology and evaluate how AI-driven tools can enhance resident education in clinical, procedural, and research domains. A narrative literature review was conducted across major databases [MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, CINAHL] using keywords including \"artificial intelligence,\" \"medical education,\" \"radiation oncology,\" and \"auto-contouring.\" Expert commentary and selected studies on educational implementation of AI were included. AI enhanced learning tools span auto-segmentation feedback systems, plan optimization simulators and clinical decision support engines. AI improves access to complex cases, supports real-time feedback, and reduces dependence on faculty availability. However, risks include overreliance, algorithmic bias, and misinterpretation of AI generated outputs. Residents must develop the skills to critically appraise AI tools, review outputs, and integrate patient-centered decision making. AI offers significant potential to transform resident education in radiation oncology. Structured curriculum integration can enhance training while preserving core clinical judgment.

During summers 2016 to 2024, nine cohorts, for a total of 178 undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students at Northeastern Illinois University, University of Illinois Chicago, Northwestern University, and Chicago community colleges, enrolled in an 8-week didactic and mixed curricular program focused on the development of academic, technical, and professional skills in preparation for careers in social, behavioral, and biomedical research in healthcare. We describe the recruitment and selection processes of the summer cohorts and provide an overview of the program activities and overall structure. We report on the resulting changes in students' performance, academic and professional abilities, cancer and equity awareness, interests, and confidence in careers related to cancer and health disparities research. We also report on the educational transitions and career outcomes of the ChicagoCHEC fellows from the program's inception in 2016 to the most recent cohort in 2024.
