There is so much information that you need to know and memorise in medical school. Therefore, I believe that it is really important to have notes that are concise which summarise all the key aspects that you need to know to save time and be efficient - nothing more and nothing less. Here are my handwritten electronic notes that I made using different sources including lectures, books and research. They are the exact notes that I used to pass and score highly during my third year of medical scool. I hope you find them as a useful addition to your own notes and hopefully you will achieve the same :)
These are the topics covered:
Cancer cell biology
Histopathology of cancer - basic concepts and terminiology
Cancer genomes and targeted treatments
Psycho-oncology
Genetic counselling and risk assessment
