CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION

The oncologist was discussing with his trainee about a paediatric patient with a particular brain tumour who needed a certain radiotherapy treatment.

Oncologist: Have you seen CSI? (refering to craniospinal irradiation)

Trainee: Which episode?

Oncologist: ???

MISSING GLASS EYE

This was posted on the notice board outside the medical school library. I wonder who is the poor student who lost his/ her glass eye.

MODERN RADIOTHERAPY USING DEAD CHICKEN

The Urology & Oncology Departments of University Malaya Medical Centre have a combined clinic every Friday to discuss urology cancer cases such as prostate cancer, renal cell carcinoma & so on. During one particular combined clinic, the Urology Professor was telling his medical student about a patient with prostate cancer who was being referred to the oncologist for radiotherapy.

Urology Prof: This patient is going to have IMRT

Medical student: (shocked) Ayam mati????

Oncology doctors: (pengsan!)

*IMRT stands for intensity modulated radiation therapy, a modern radiotherapy technique where the intensity of radiation can be modified to deliver high dose radiation to tumour while sparing adjacent normal tissues.
