Practise margin decisions, cancer staging, multimodal sequencing and trial appraisal across EBSQ Surgical Oncology domains, with cases and focused recall. These are independent learning materials, not official exam questions or a pass prediction.

European Board of Surgery, through the UEMS Section of Surgery Division of Surgical Oncology, in cooperation with the European Society of Surgical Oncology (ESSO) · 2026 UEMS examination outline, checked 2026-10-10; supported by the ESSO Core Curriculum update published online 2021-10-13 and still identified by ESSO as its EBSQ preparation curriculum. UEMS explicitly states that examination subject areas have more recently aligned with the joint ESSO–SSO global curriculum. This does not establish an examination adoption date for the specific 2026 global revision. No formal blueprint effective date or percentage weights are stated. The workbook label maps to this official examination; the assigned slug is preserved.
This original 20-question sample covers selected topics across the outline. It does not reproduce official exam questions or cover every tested topic.
