When studying hematology, pay close attention to the many cross
connections to immunology. Make sure you master the different types
of anemias. Be comfortable interpreting blood smears. When reviewing
oncologic drugs, focus on mechanisms and adverse effects rather than
details of clinical uses, which may be lower yield.
Please note that solid tumors are covered in their respective organ
system chapters.
