Module 17: Gynaecological Oncology

Cancer womb ovary Fallopian tube vulva Module 17 rcog gynae oncology

This post is an outline of the Module 17: Oncology. This is an important module to be covered as a few questions will be inevitably asked in the MRCOG part 2 exam. This module needs to be approached systematically.
  • If you have a look at the details of module on ROCG website, you will know that the organs to be covered are: Cervix, Endometrium, Ovary, Vulva, Vagina and Fallopian Tubes
  • You can make a big folder with the name “Oncology” with five subfolders namely Cervix, Endometrium, Ovary, Vulva and General (as outlined below in tables)
  • For each organ, conditions are divided into three categories: Benign, Pre-Malignant and Malignant
  • FIGO classification of all tumors must be on your last minute revision list, as we tend to forget it very often
  • Treatment options at EACH stage as well as referral pathways
  • Overall survival/ Recurrence rates
  • Radiotherapy, Chemotherapy, Palliative care & End of life care
  • Your notes are KEY in this module
  • Make sure your notes cover all above mentioned points for each tumor
  • Keep revising the numbers so that you can recall it easily in exam
  • This module is well described in StratOG and a lot of material is available on RCOG website
  • Following tables will help you organize the reading resources (please add more if I have missed any)
Please let me know in comments if this is helpful. Suggestions for improving future posts are welcome.
Thanks
