In 2018, the European Society of Gynecological Oncology (ESGO) jointly with the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) and the European Society of Pathology (ESP) published evidence-based guidelines for the management of patients with cervical cancer. Given the large body of new evidence addressing the management of cervical cancer, the three sister societies jointly decided to update these evidence-based guidelines. The update includes new topics to provide comprehensive guidelines on all relevant issues of diagnosis and treatment in cervical cancer.To serve on the expert panel (27 experts across Europe) ESGO/ESTRO/ESP nominated practicing clinicians who are involved in managing patients with cervical cancer and have demonstrated leadership through their expertise in clinical care and research, national and international engagement, profile, and dedication to the topics addressed. To ensure the statements were evidence based, new data identified from a systematic search was reviewed and critically appraised. In the absence of any clear scientific evidence, judgment was based on the professional experience and consensus of the international development group. Before publication, the guidelines were reviewed by 155 independent international practitioners in cancer care delivery and patient representatives.These updated guidelines are comprehensive and cover staging, management, follow-up, long-term survivorship, quality of life and palliative care. Management includes fertility sparing treatment, early and locally advanced cervical cancer, invasive cervical cancer diagnosed on a simple hysterectomy specimen, cervical cancer in pregnancy, rare tumors, recurrent and metastatic diseases. The management algorithms and the principles of radiotherapy and pathological evaluation are also defined.

Background:Although training in palliative care (PC) is increasingly frequent in medical schools, some barriers still hamper the design and implementation of effective educational programs. Information Technology-based distance learning (IT-DL) might contribute to the development of appropriate knowledge on PC in students, but it is still not clear how to best develop such curricula and how to deliver methodologically sound learning activities, allowing students to work on the complex skills required in PC.Objectives:To describe how internet-based education can be used in undergraduate medical PC education, in terms of realist theorization.Design:A realist review was carried out, producing a framework - or, in the terms of a realist review, a theory - focusing on finding out what might work, for whom, and in which circumstances, describing these variables in terms of Contexts, Mechanism, and Outcomes.Methods:An international group of experts of PC education assessed the relevance and pertinence of 256 articles resulting from systematic retrieval of literature and expert suggestions.Results:The final synthesis, mainly informed by the 43 articles rated as most relevant, is presented in propositions regarding three groups: (1) Educational theory, where (a) Cognitivism (learning as an increase in knowledge); (b) Constructivism (learning as a social, cultural, and negotiated process); and (c) Behaviorism (learning as an observable modification of behaviors) appear to be consistent with the learning outcome of PC. (2) Desired effect of the technology, suggesting the simple use of IT-DL is not an additional value per se, as it should overcome objective limits set for face-to-face activities. (3) Contextualization and duration of the curricular activity, suggesting PC training activities should be included in an organic and legitimate way in the overall curriculum.Conclusion:This field is expected to experience huge growth soon, and present and future research could use a realist approach like the one here presented to make sense of all the different variables involved.

Background With university material doubling over time, medical students need to learn how to become successful life-long learners. Overall a Deep Approach (DA) to learning, and Self-Regulation (SR) skills are among the elements with a potential to accelerate learning, and Student Engagement (SE) has been associated with better university outcomes. However, specific recommendations concerning what students should do are lacking. The aim of this study was to identify above-average students' specific attitudes and strategies toward learning. Methods A cross-sectional analysis of the answers to the validated questionnaires Revised Study Process Questionnaire (R-SPQ-2F), SE, and Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) of 155 s and third-year students included in a prospective interventional study in the University of Navarre in September 2020 was performed. Students were stratified according to their standardized average mean in above-average (mean > 0) and below-average (mean <= 0). Results Overall, 67.1% of students scored higher in DA than in Surface Approach (SA) and had very high Intrinsic Value (IV, median 5.9). A higher proportion of above-average students had DA > SA score (72.7% vs 57.1%, p = 0.05), and showed higher scores in SR (median 4.9 vs 4.3, p = 0.007) compared to below-average, while the latter scored higher in SA (median 24.5 vs 23, p = 0.04), and surface motive (median 11 vs 9, p = 0.007). No differences were found in SE, and both groups had average scores in the cooperative dimension. Differences were rooted to hard work, interest over material and prioritizing understanding over rote-learning motives and aligned strategies. Conclusions Curricula design and assessment should be aligned to promote DA and SR skills among learners. Furthermore, it is paramount that teachers help instill students with interest over material and encourage understanding and hard work, since are traits associated with better results. More studies concerning metacognition and other promising traits for becoming life-long learners and prepared professionals should be made.
