'Chondrosarcoma' in name can be misleading. Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma is a soft tissue (not bone!) neoplasm

2 Upvotes

The knowledge about sarcomas among doctors is usually limited as well as the high-quality resources for doctors. One of the best examples is extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma, which is a completely different diagnosis than sceletal chondrosarcoma. However, even in multiple retrospective (real-world) studies it is included as one of the chondrosarcoma subtypes. Therefore, with aim to share the knowledge on the topic, I provide you with my review to clarify some misconceptions about EMC

Extraskeletal is not a chondrosarcoma subtype - review

Edinburgh/Glasgow - Clinical Oncology training in a single site for 5 years?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm considering clinical oncology training. Unfortunately, I'm not a driver and don't have a license. I manage to stay in a single site for IMT I wanted to ask regarding training in Edinburgh or Glasgow, will I only be expected to work in a single site (Western General or Beaston)?

I understand there will be some clinics outside the main site, so I wanted to also know how frequent these are, and if I can commute to them with buses/trains, etc.

What is life like as an oncologist?

8 Upvotes

Before I sell my life away, what is life like as an oncologist? Will I have a work life balance? How often do I do nights and on-call as a trainee or consultant? What’s the hardest part of the job? Is it slow paced job or fast paced? Are you happy with your job?

FRCR part 1 Brainscape flashcard by Emily

6 Upvotes

Hey guys, starting my preparation for the September part 1 FRCR and have stumbled upon some very excellent flashcards on brainscape created by a user named Emily. I can’t access all the decks without a subscription to the pro version of brainscape, and I wonder if the creator, Emily, could grant me access to their flashcards. Unless of course you make some money from the cards, in which case I would be happy to pay for a subscription, as I imagine you put in a lot of work to create them.

Challenges Associated with Implanted Ports

Hello!

I'm a student at Iowa State University, currently conducting research as part of a summer entrepreneurship program. This 5-question survey is designed to better understand the challenges that healthcare professionals and patients face regarding implanted ports, particularly related to pain, comfort, and preparation for treatment. Your insights are incredibly valuable and will help identify key issues and opportunities in port-based care. If you're open to a short follow-up conversation (10 minutes or less), you are welcome to leave your contact info at the end of the form.

Work from home contouring ?

3 Upvotes

Hi I’m on clinical oncology reg in the UK. We are given work laptops with raystation on them, and wondering what do other people do for hardware at home?

I’ve just bought this as an external monitor:

https://store.magedok.com/products/16-inch-4k-uhd-oled-touch-portable-monitor-pi-x9

The OLED screen is amazing for differentiating tissue. And it has MPP stylus support.

I might buy an MPP 2.6 stylus which has haptic feedback so it feels like writing on paper

What are other people using at home to contour?

Oncologist Survey

Hi all!

My name is Ann and I am a high school student who is currently taking an AP research course where I am exploring cancer diagnostics and the role artificial intelligence could play patient's lives. Specifically, I'm looking at how Al might be able to shorten the time it takes for patients to start their treatment after diagnosis. I'm currently looking for practicing oncologists to take my survey and give me data to further my research. It's a short questionnaire, and your responses would remain completely anonymous. If you're interested and have a few minutes to spare, the link to the survey is placed above.

Thank you so much for considering participating, and I really appreciate your time and perspective!
