Clinical Oncology is a guide for oncology residents. An oncologist's work starts from the point of diagnosis to achieving a cure or palliation by using the available resources most meaningfully. Oncology examinations aim at finding how much a trainee is fluent in such work before gifting him/her to the society. This needs the idea of pathology, basics of hematology, radiology, and genetics. All these important topics are addressed in the form of 12 short chapters. Case discussions are made interesting by sharing important and relevant points in eight long cases in question and answer format, including history, differential diagnosis, initial investigations, and their logical utilization in approaching a diagnosis. We hope this book is equally helpful for those preparing for oncology entrance examinations and first-year residents as well as final-year students who are going to give practical examinations and ESMO examination.

"Give it a try, maybe it will work" or a "trial and error" approach are not options for starting training after muscle injury. This publication demonstrates how critical early and consistent sports medicine care is to the healing process. The history, symptoms, palpation of muscle injuries, functional testing, and identification of the cause are all critical to initiating the right treatment steps at the earliest possible time. Under no circumstances should the control of the increase in load be based on complaints, since the pain already subsides before the healing process is complete. Loading too early correlates with a significantly increased risk of injury.
