How to study it

1. 1

   Learn each disease as a bundle: cause, key histology, markers, and the clinical hallmark.

2. 2

   Memorise translocations and tumour markers as pairs and revise them regularly.

3. 3

   Use images. Histology and gross specimens are recognised by sight, not by description.

Where students slip

• Mixing up granulomatous diseases by their necrosis pattern.
• Remembering a marker without knowing which tumour it belongs to.
