CONCISE Bowel Cancer Summary Notes (KAT7, Haem & Oncology Block)

Description

These notes contain thorough yet concise summaries, in tabulated format, of all bowel (colorectal) cancer content for the haematology & oncology block, in preparation for KAT7. These notes also includes detailed history-taking notes for bowel cancer (useful for MMCA2) and details on large bowel obstruction (oncological emergency relevant to CRC). The most useful parts of this document are the management section, with details of treatments by method and by stage, and molecular pathways/pathophysiology of bowel cancer. On the exam I received 88%, with full marks for colorectal oncology and surgery sections. The sources for this info include: - SMP: online videos, lectures, clinical tutes, SCORPIOs, CBLs and workshops. - AMBOSS: CRC - Wiki Cancer Oncology for medical students - Up To Date bowel cancer management Unfortunately no images/diagrams could be included due to copyright rules, but I have included sources or where to find images where appropriate!
