However, in most low and middle income countries (LMICs), there remains a scarcity of oncologists which may be attributable to graduates not pursuing training in the field. This commentary elaborates upon the role of oncology interest groups in undergraduate medical education and provides a perspective from an interest group in Pakistan. The decision to train in a particular sub-specialty depends on various factors including the clinical experiences during medical school. Exposure to a particular specialty through clinical rotations, research, and mentorship can encourage students to pursue that field later on. Student interest groups can further play a role in fostering interactions between students, faculty, and patients that can subsequently contribute to increasing awareness and interest in a particular field such as oncology. This is particularly relevant in LMICs where the inclusion of cost-effective strategies such as student lead interest groups in undergraduate medical education can augment the oncology workforce.","PeriodicalId":50246,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144217430","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}

Although the recombinant HZ vaccine has demonstrated > 90% efficacy against HZ in adults, its use is not as frequent as needed in daily oncology practice due to several barriers, including oncologists' knowledge, patients' willingness, and organizational issues. A web-based survey was sent to 139 oncologists treating solid tumors concerning their knowledge and attitudes toward the adjuvanted gE-based recombinant HZ vaccination. The survey included questions regarding the characteristics of medical oncologists participating, such as the type of hospital, main field of expertise, percent of work with patients, awareness of the HZ risk in cancer patients, knowledge of scientific data and scientific societies guidelines on HZ vaccination, familiarity with vaccinations, frequency of HZ detection in clinical practice, barriers, and challenges toward vaccine administration. Fifty-four physicians (46%; 95% CI 0.2918 to 0.5069) responded to all the questions. The main reason for non-response was the lack of time due to the overwhelming burden of assistance. When the survey was launched, 31 participants reported good knowledge of scientific and clinical data of HZ vaccines, 10% none, and 36 were aware of guidelines. Reported barriers included knowledge of the problem, patients' willingness, and organizational issues. Surveying medical oncologists on the adjuvanted gE-based recombinant HZ vaccination provides essential insights into their knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding vaccination for cancer patients. These data suggest that continuing medical education is necessary to implement HZ vaccination prescription among oncologists.","PeriodicalId":50246,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Education","volume":" ","pages":"408-415"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142479588","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}

The feasibility and perceived value of an extracurricular, student-run multidisciplinary oncology shadowing program was evaluated in this study. At a single institution, an oncology interest group collaborated with oncologists to create a shadowing program for MS1-2 students. Three radiation oncology (RO), two medical oncology (MO), and four surgical oncology (SO) faculty participated. A quarterly sign-up form was emailed to all MS1-2 students with available shadowing sessions. Electronic surveys were sent to students (after shadowing) and faculty (after 18 months of program operation) with multiple choice and 5-point Likert-type (1 = low, 5 = high) questions about their experiences. A total of 57 of the 97 participating students, and all 9 of the 9 participating faculty, responded to surveys (response rates 59% and 100%, respectively). Thirty students (53%) shadowed in RO, 23 (40%) in SO, and 4 (7%) in MO. Most students were very satisfied with their interactions with faculty (mean Likert-type rating of 4.14 ± standard deviation 0.85) and their overall experience compared to prior shadowing experiences (3.84 ± 0.85). Fifty-four students (96%) would recommend the experience to a classmate. Four faculty (44%) reported much more shadowing than before. Seven faculty (78%) felt the experience was best when residents or fellows were also present. All physicians planned to continue participating. This study demonstrated that a student-run, oncology shadowing program was feasible to implement, and viewed favorably by faculty and student participants.","PeriodicalId":50246,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Education","volume":" ","pages":"402-407"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12177014/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142479589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is essential to understand the modifiable factors which influence entry. The objective of this project is to identify factors (i.e., \"enablers\") that motivate prospective medical students to apply to RO. A survey was developed to characterize RO enablers and barriers as perceived by current RO residents. An existing conceptual framework of why medical students choose primary care was used as the foundation of the survey and was modified for relevance towards RO. The final mixed-methods survey was administered to Canadian RO residents (2015-2019 match years) via Program Directors and the Canadian Association of Radiation Oncologists resident member database. Medical students are most likely to select a career in RO during or after a clerkship experience. Extrinsic factors strongly motivating interest in RO were (% rating as very important or extremely important on a 5-point scale) as follows: positive feedback from radiation oncologists (86%) and RO residents (66%), clinical rotations in RO (84%) and mentorship (77%). Intrinsic factors include perceived fulfillment (95.2%), commitment to patient care (85.3%), and intellectual challenge (67.7%). Qualitative data highlighted the importance of mentorship, the \"hand-heart\" connection, career variability/flexibility, career satisfaction/lifestyle, and personal connections with cancer/cancer care in motivating students to pursue RO. Increased preclinical exposure such as mentorship may encourage students to seek clerkship opportunities in RO. These findings inform strategies to recruit medical students to a career in RO.","PeriodicalId":50246,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Education","volume":" ","pages":"365-376"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142607269","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}

Our goal is to understand communication dynamics, identify gaps, and pave the way for effective cannabis communication for individuals living with cancer (PLWC). We searched PubMed, CINAHL, and EBSCO for articles published between 2013 and July 2023, capturing the key concepts of cannabis use in cancer patients and their communication with healthcare providers in oncology settings. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement guided the review. Studies were appraised by applying the Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice Model for Nursing and Healthcare Professionals. Of the 2384 articles reviewed, 14 met the inclusion criteria. Three were qualitative studies, and 11 were cross-sectional surveys. All studies were level III evidence. Studies captured patients' and providers' perspectives; five were conducted among cancer patients, and nine were among healthcare providers in oncology settings. Findings revealed variations in healthcare provider recommendations, patient-initiated discussions, and barriers to discussing medical cannabis (MC). The synthesis of this evidence highlights the complexities surrounding MC in oncology settings, including knowledge gaps among healthcare providers, patient-initiated discussions, and challenges in accessing and prescribing medicinal cannabis. This review contributes valuable insights into the current landscape of MC use in cancer care, emphasizing the need for improved communication, education, and support for both patients and healthcare providers.","PeriodicalId":50246,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Education","volume":" ","pages":"329-347"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12177019/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142005714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite this, cancer profile and regional distribution remained relatively stable. China realized a series of initiatives and issued strategic documents to improve cancer education. These include the establishment of a three-tier cancer prevention program and the fulfillment of various guidelines and plans, including the Healthy China Action-Cancer control Implementation Plan (2019-2022). This comprehensive review describes the status of cancer education in China from 2013 to 2022 discussing the role of different cancer education places and that of educators. It also highlights the use of innovative educational methods and educational evaluations, which are effective in improving patient outcomes and satisfaction. Although the Chinese government has taken many measures to improve cancer education in China, several issues remain unresolved. Challenges such as the wide spectrum of tumors, the aging population, and the huge urban-rural disparities require further investment from Chinese government. In addition, cancer control in China started relatively late and lacks the support of specific legislation to control it. It is therefore necessary to increase the investment in cancer education, especially in rural areas and the legislation in areas related to cancer control should be improved to increase the accessibility and quality of education on tumor prevention and treatment.","PeriodicalId":50246,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Education","volume":" ","pages":"348-358"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12177023/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142037594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
