With more treatment options in oncology lead to better outcomes and more favorable side effect profiles, patients are living longer-with higher quality of life-than ever, with a growing survivor population. As the needs of patients and providers evolve, and technology advances, cancer care is subject to change. This review explores the myriad of changes in the current oncology landscape with a focus on the patient perspective and patient-centered care.

- Family planning for female physicians is hindered by factors like high infertility risks, challenging workloads, inadequate family leave policies, and gender discrimination, leading to feelings of workplace un support.
- A thematic analysis of open-ended survey comments from 162 physicians identified three key barriers: institutional (like the lack of parental leave), departmental (including discrimination and issues with childcare), and personal (such as challenges in family planning and reproductive health).
- Recommendations to address these barriers include enhancing institutional support, expanding parental leave, and fostering cultural changes to better balance family and career for female physicians.
Rapid growth in outdoor recreation may have important and varied effects on terrestrial mammal communities. Few studies have investigated factors influencing variation in observed responses of multiple mammal species to recreation. We used data from 155 camera traps, in western Alberta (Canada), and a hierarchical Bayesian community modelling framework to document 15 mammal species responses to recreation, test for differential responses between predators and prey, and evaluate the influence of local context.

Land-use changes driven by energy and forestry industries are known to disrupt predator-prey dynamics in boreal ecosystems, yet how these disturbance effects propagate across mammal communities remains uncertain. Using structural equation modeling, we tested disturbance-mediated pathways governing the spatial structure of multipredator multiprey boreal mammal networks across a landscape-scale disturbance gradient within Canada's Athabasca oil sands region.

On the other hand, autologous blood transfusion can prevent the potential negative effects of allogenic blood transfusions and reduce use of valuable resources.
Methods: This study included 106 adult patients who underwent oncologic liver surgery at our institution between December 2015 and June 2019.
