The shallower portions of subduction zone megathrust faults host Earth's most hazardous tsunamigenic earthquakes, yet understanding how and when they slip remains elusive because of challenges making seafloor observations. We performed Global Navigation Satellite System Acoustic seafloor geodetic surveys before and ~2.5 months after the 29 July 2021 (moment magnitude) 8.

- Survivorship care plans (SCPs) are documents that help cancer survivors by explaining what follow-up tests they need based on their cancer treatment.
- In a study of patients with breast, colorectal, or prostate cancer, researchers looked at tests performed after patients received their SCPs to see if any were unnecessary and followed guidelines against them.
- They found that many tests (especially for breast cancer) were done even though they weren't needed according to the guidelines, showing a need for better education and practices among healthcare providers.
Background: Survivorship care plans (SCP) should outline pertinent information about cancer treatment and follow-up.
Methods: We descriptively analyzed the content of 74 colorectal cancer SCPs completed as part of a randomized, controlled trial of SCPs at an academic and community cancer center. Surveillance recommendations were compared with American Cancer Society, American Society of Clinical Oncology and National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines.
