The Cancer Attitude Survey (CAS) was administered to second year students before, during, and after a year-long "Introduction to Clinical Medicine" course. The course contained a 14-hour oncology segment. Faculty of the Clinical Medicine Course and nonclinical faculty teaching oncology related topics also responded to the CAS. The CAS contains four scales: Attitudes toward: I, the patient's inner resources to cope with cancer; IIA, the value of early diagnosis; IIB, aggressive treatment; and III, personal immortality and preparation for and acceptance of death. At the beginning of the course, student attitudes were positive; there was no change in attitudes across the three testing periods. Among faculty, dedicated oncologists had the most positive attitudes; students and nononcology clinical faculty exhibited similar trends in attitudes; nonclinical faculty teaching oncology related material had least positive attitudes.
在为期一年的“临床医学导论”课程之前、期间和之后，对二年级学生进行了癌症态度调查（CAS）。该课程包含一个14小时的肿瘤学部分。临床医学课程的教师以及教授肿瘤学相关主题的非临床教师也对CAS进行了回应。CAS包含四个量表：对以下方面的态度：一、患者应对癌症的内在资源；二A、早期诊断的价值；二B、积极治疗；以及三、个人的不朽以及对死亡的准备和接受。在课程开始时，学生态度积极；在三个测试阶段中态度没有变化。在教师中，专注的肿瘤学家态度最为积极；学生和非肿瘤临床教师的态度呈现出相似的趋势；教授肿瘤学相关内容的非临床教师态度最不积极。
