Clinical Oncology FRCR

Clinical oncology FRCR 

Clinical oncologists treat solid tumours with radiotherapy (external beam & brachytherapy), chemotherapy (cytotoxics, biological therapy, molecularly targeted agents) and increasingly with a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy (concurrent chemoradiotherapy- CCRT).

Medical oncologists focus more on drugs development and delivered chemotherapy alone to treat solid tumours whereas haematologists only treat blood-related cancer.

In UK, in order to pursue training in Clinical Oncology, the prerequisite is membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP). Trainees need to obtain fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists (FRCR) by examinations before a certificate of the completion of specialist training (CCST) is awarded. FRCR part 1 comprises core scientific information or basic sciences of cancer- cancer biology/radiobiology, clinical pharmacology, physics and medical statistics.  FRCR part 1 examination comprises four papers of single best answer (SBA) questions where cancer biology and radiobiology combined in one paper and the 3 subjects mentioned above as 3 separated papers tested. The exam papers for the four subjects are held twice a year. More complete information regarding FRCR part 1 examination can be obtained in the official website of FRCR i.e syllabus, dates,fees and sample of SBA questions which are very useful for the candidates.

I have just passed my FRCR part 1 in clinical oncology and understood the difficulty in studying lots of the recommended reference texts in the midst of hectic working schedules. I hope my revision notes will help you to grasp the basic principles and know ledges that tested in the FRCR part 1 examination and useful during last minutes revision and it is not meant to replace standard reference textbooks. I hope that you can pass all FRCR part 1 subjects in one attempt and probably not 2!!!

    My name is hoover, my 18 year old daughter, Tricia was diagnosed with herpes 3 years ago. Since then, we have moved from one hospital to another. We tried all kinds of pills, but every effort to get rid of the virus was futile. The bubbles continued to reappear after a few months. My daughter was using 200mg acyclovir pills. 2 tablets every 6 hours and 15g of fusitin cream. and H5 POT. Permanganate with water to be applied twice a day, but all still do not show results. So, I was on the internet a few months ago, to look for other ways to save my only son. Only then did I come across a comment about the herbal treatment of Dr Imoloa and decided to give it a try. I contacted him and he prepared some herbs and sent them, along with guidance on how to use them via the DHL courier service. my daughter used it as directed by dr imoloa and in less than 14 days, my daughter recovered her health.
