The basics of nomenclature concerning Neoplasia are covered concisely and succinctly in one A3 size poster. Being able to correctly name tumours of differing origin can be a challenging task for new medical students, this teaching poster aims to aid the process.  

This presentation summarises the current evidence and theory behind Graft versus Tumour effect. The slides themselves don't have that much information on, but explanations can be found in the 'notes' section below the slides.  

Audio podcast outlining the pathological processes that occur in the liver including; infection, alcohol abuse, drugs toxicity, metabolic abnormalities, autoimmune processes and neoplasia.
