Article Abstract
Objective: To explore the educational methods used in the cancer training of undergraduate students in health sciences.
Design: Integrative review with a systematic methodology was performed to obtain a comprehensive picture of the variety of educational methods used in cancer training.
Data Sources: A search was performed in the PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO and Cochrane databases for the period 2008-2020.
Review Methods: The Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) was used to assess the quality of included studies. Three reviewers extracted data and did quality appraisal.
Results: A total of 40 articles referring to cancer training in medicine and nursing were included in the review; no articles referring to other health disciplines were found. The main educational methods used were expository methods, case studies, exercises and problems, problem-based learning, learning contracts and project-oriented learning.
Conclusion: This review shows the need to combine educational methods so that health sciences students acquire competency (knowledge, skill, attitude) for comprehensive cancer care. There is a gap in the training of undergraduate nursing students to provide person/family centered care in oncology. To improve the training and professional practice of future health professionals, interprofessional education and the involvement of people with cancer in simulation education are recommended.

School of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, 430070, China.
Urban rail transit systems, represented by subways, have significantly alleviated the traffic pressure brought by urbanization and have addressed issues such as traffic congestion. However, as a commonly used construction method for subway tunnels, shield tunneling inevitably disturbs the surrounding soil, leading to uneven ground surface settlement, which can impact the safety of nearby buildings. Therefore, it is crucial to promptly obtain and predict the ground surface settlement induced by shield tunneling construction to enable safety warnings and evaluations.
