Article Synopsis
- The global cancer epidemic has created a pressing need for healthcare professionals in oncology, yet little is known about what motivates medical students to pursue this specialty.
- A systematic review of literature from 1980 to now identified only seven quantitative surveys focused on oncology career motivations, mostly from students already interested in the field.
- The key motivations for choosing oncology include an interest in cancer management, exposure to the specialty during medical training, job opportunities, manageable working hours, and overall quality of life, highlighting the lack of qualitative research on the subject.
Introduction: In April 2019, French authorities mandated dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) screening, specifically testing uracilemia, to mitigate the risk of toxicity associated with fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy.
