PGMEE Notes : Mnemonic : Radioresistant-Chemoresistant Tumors

A Must Learn.

This is a well known Mnemonic for remembering Radio-resistant / Radio-sensitive and Chemo-resistant / Chemo-sensitive Tumors / Cancers.

It's not an easy one to learn, but it has shown it's worth many times in exams.

Radioresistant Tumors (M.O.P)

   1. Melanoma.

   2. Osteosarcoma.

   3. Pancreatic Carcinoma.

Radiosensitive Tumors (W.E.L.Se.M)

   1. Wilm's Tumor.

   2. Ewing's Sarcoma.

   3. Lymphoma.

   4. Seminoma.

   5. Multiple Myeloma.

   6. Medulloblastoma.

(Remember Both as MOP-WELSeM, if you could)

Chemoresistant Tumors - (G.B.S.S)

  1. Gastric carcinoma.

  2. Bladder Carcinoma.

  3. Soft Tissue Sarcoma.

  4. Squamous Cell carcinoma of Head and Neck.

Chemosensitive Tumors -

Slightly Complicated or I made it  a little. It can be remembered as either " Wimbledon Lawn Tennis ACER" or " Lead The World RACE ", "World of Tender Loving CARE"  and many, adopt or derive a good one and learn.
