A real question from the bank — submit an answer and see exactly what pass holders see.
A 66-year-old postmenopausal woman has had breast-conserving surgery and radiotherapy for a 24 mm, grade 2, strongly ER-positive, HER2-negative invasive ductal carcinoma with two positive axillary nodes. She is being counselled about adjuvant endocrine therapy. What is the most appropriate initial adjuvant endocrine therapy?

In every pass
Extra exam tools
Three tools alongside the question bank and the timed mocks. Nothing costs extra, nothing renews.
Flashcards
Run any set of questions as index cards: write your answer, flip to the cited answer, grade yourself. Missed cards come back sooner on the Leitner schedule.
Quick-reference tables
Radiotherapy selection and dose, organ-at-risk constraints and staging in both TNM editions, one page per site, every row cited. Breast, lung and prostate are live.
Refer a colleague
Every colleague who buys a pass through your link adds one month to your access.
Your link appears on your account page once you have a pass.
A month per colleague
Every colleague who buys a pass through your link adds one month to your access. The link is on your account page, ready for the group chat.
All three come with every pass. What's new is on the blog.
Don't take our word for it — we cite everything
FRCR Vault is authored and verified by a practising NHS consultant clinical oncologist. No content farm, no recycled basic-science material: each item is written to the RCR curriculum, then checked against the text of its cited source before it goes live.
Consultant-written, ST6-pitched
Vignettes demand the synthesis the exam actually tests: staging, trial evidence, toxicity and treatment intent, not single-fact recall.
Every answer names its source
Explanations cover every option, and each answer cites NICE, ESMO, ASTRO, EANO, the RCR or the primary trial, with a link to the open source.
Independently fact-checked
Before an item goes live it is verified against its citation. The bank currently rests on 1,000+ distinct sources across 2,000+ citations.
Revised as the guidelines move
When guidance changes, affected questions are updated, and new items are written where the blueprint is thin.
Spot something wrong? Every question has a report button, and reports are reviewed against the cited source.
Built to get you through the SBA papers
Practise the real blueprint, read cited per-option feedback, and let the schedule find your weak areas before exam day does.
Flashcards for any set
Run any site or question type as index cards: read the stem, write your answer, flip to the cited answer and grade yourself. Missed cards come back sooner.
Quick-reference tables
One page per tumour site: radiotherapy selection and dose, organ-at-risk constraints and staging in both TNM editions, every row cited. Breast, lung and prostate to start.
Timed mocks in the real format
Full timed papers mirroring the two 120-question CO2A papers, marked with a site-by-site breakdown at the end.
Per-option feedback, every item
Why the correct answer is right and why each distractor is wrong, with the source linked underneath.
Accuracy by tumour site
Your dashboard tracks accuracy across all 11 sites and points revision straight at the weakest.
A schedule that remembers
Questions you get wrong come back on a Leitner spaced-repetition schedule before you forget them.
Flag and revisit
Flag any question to build a personal revision list you can run as its own session.
Practise your way
Sessions by tumour site or mixed across the blueprint, sized to the time you actually have.
Full bank, one payment, no add-ons
Every pass includes everything. One payment, nothing renews.
Bring a colleague, keep revising for longer: every pass bought through the link on your account page adds one month to your own access.
Every answer cited. Every item verified.
Questions are original, written to the RCR blueprint and grounded only in open, citable sources: RCR, NICE, ESMO, ASTRO, EANO and primary trial literature. Each item is independently fact-checked against its source before it goes live.
Which exam is this for?
The Final FRCR Part A (Clinical Oncology) SBA papers, code CO2A, sat by UK clinical oncology trainees, typically ST5 to ST6.
How is this different from other banks?
It is written specifically for Part 2A clinical oncology, organised by the 11 tumour sites of the real blueprint, and every answer carries a verifiable citation. Many banks give unreferenced answers or repackage basic-science material.
Are all questions really cited?
Yes. All 2,500+ questions cite their sources: 1,000+ distinct guidelines, protocols and trials across 2,000+ citations, each with a link so you can read the original.
Is there a flashcard mode?
Yes. Any set of questions can be run as flashcards: the stem is on the front, you write your answer on the card, flip it to see the answer with its explanation and source, then mark it got or missed. Missed cards come back sooner.
What are the quick-reference tables?
One page per tumour site setting out radiotherapy selection and dose, organ-at-risk constraints and staging in both TNM editions, with every row cited to its source. Breast, lung and prostate are live, with more sites in progress.
Is there a referral scheme?
Yes. Your account page has a personal link. Every colleague who buys a pass through it adds one month to your access, applied automatically when they pay.
How do the timed mocks work?
Mocks mirror the two-paper, 120-question SBA format with exam timing. You get a mark, per-site accuracy and full cited explanations when you finish.
Where do the questions come from?
They are original vignettes authored to the RCR curriculum and grounded in open guidelines and primary trials. Nothing is reproduced from RCR past papers or any other bank.
Is anything free?
Yes. The sample question above is the full pass-holder marking experience for one item, and the blog carries free cited articles on the exam and how to revise for it, including a complete CO2A guide.
Does it renew?
No. A pass is one payment for three or six months. When it ends, nothing is charged; buy another whenever you next need one.
