There are two groups of notes for site-specific tumours. These notes are to help you get started and provide a template for you to build your own. Please note, they are not designed to comprehensively cover all of oncology knowledge but to provide a high-yield study material for RCR examinations.

Group 1 is a 2023 update/”my version” of freely available notes that have been circulation since 2019 (see general tips on Part 2 FRCR for details and source credits). These are freely available on this site as well.

Group 2 notes are notes that are largely an original compilation. They are in various forms – mostly pdfs of tumour notes but also include alternative formats such as pictorial summaries (breast cancer). These require a one-time subscription to the site that grants access for a year to all notes. The one-time subscription also grants access to “Radiotherapy Management Notes” in the General notes section.
