Questions from Neoplasia (Or Oncology) are now being increasingly asked in objective type competitive pre-PG medical entrance exams. Analysing the trend in the past few years, we can see for ourselves that questions regarding tumours comprise no less than 5 per cent of the total questions in an exam and in few cases we have even had about 10 per cent of the total questions from Onclogy For the long time the questions from Neoplasia (as the other questions) were simple and straightforward.
