摘      要：The article discusses the gaming and simulation approach to improve cancer-screening rates through the Cancer: Simulating Practice and Collaborative Education (CancerSpace). The Educational Gaming and Simulation Design (EG&SD) group adapted features and combined platforms of software packages in making the three prototypes for the CancerSpace project. The CancerSpace which will be released in January 2010 has also adapted an award system to stimulate gaming while increasing screening rates among healthcare professionals.
