2. MODULE
INTRODUCTION
Oncology system has provided four modules for the 2008 academic year, which are
NECK LUMP, BREAST LUMP, CONTACT BLEEDING and LUMP OF THE TIGHT.
There are all given to the fifth semester students of oncology System. The study objectives
are provided inside the module in order to help the student to gain the overall picture of the
basic concept of infectious disease mechanism.
This module includes several scenarios showing some clinical signs and symptoms
which are possibly found in certain diseases. Discussion session will not merely talk about
the chief complain but also everything that is considered related to it. The students are
expected to be able to explain all aspects of the oncology based disease including basic
principle of the anatomy, histology, and physiology; pathomechanism of infection; microbes
causing the infection; cell, tissue and body fluid abnormalities due to infection; basic
mechanism of human body self-defense; infection transmission pathway; and infection
prevention Discussion has to follow 7 steps of problem solving process.
Prior to the PBL process, both students and tutors must read the goals and objectives
of the module to assure the process is accomplished according to the designated objectives,
as well as to achieve the desired competition. Discussion materials can be obtained either
from lecture handouts or other references provided by the lecturers or tutors.
We strongly hope that this module can be very useful in helping the students in
solving problems related to oncology system.

led group discussion. Both the leader and the secretary are chosen by the students
themselves.
1. Conducting a self study by providing data/information that will support the discussion
2. Conducting a self-coached group discussion (without tutor)
3. Consulting the problems revealed during the PBL to the experts for a better
understanding
4. Attending provided experts’ lecture for unsolved problems
STUDY STRATEGIES
1. A leader-led group discussion, facilitated by a tutor
2. A leader-led group discussion, without a tutor
3. Experts consultation
4. Experts lecture in a general class
5. Self-study activities in the library with books, magazines, slides, tape recorder,

6. Conducting laboratory practical work in the laboratory
PROBLEM SOLVING PROCESS
In a leader-led group discussion, the students are expected to solve the problems in the
scenarios by conducting these following 7 jumps of problem solving process:
1. Clarifying the un-clear terms stated in the scenario, then defining the keywords/key
statement(s)
2. Identifying the basic problem of the scenario, by creating some leading important
questions
3. Analyzing the problems by answering the above questions
4. Classifying the answers
5. Developing study objectives that must be achieved by the students during the case
discussion
6. Looking for other supporting information related to the above cases
19

4. 7. Reporting the result of discussion and synthesizing the other identified information
Important Notes:
• Step 1 to 5 are conducted during the first coached-tutorial with the tutor
• Step 6 is a self study; performed out of the class either by a group discussion or by
student solely, which will then be discussed together in an un-coached group
