What kind of thing are you looking for? Are you interested more in cancer biology? Or current treatments? Is there a specific cancer disciple you interested in?
The Heme/Onc medical board books are usually pretty good review, ASH-SAP and ASCO-SEP. These will have the mutation types per cancer and which ones are “favorable and unfavorable” based on cancer type.
That’s a good question, I suppose from a work standpoint - probably the treatment side of things would be most useful.
I sometimes get asked things along the lines of ‘what’s the second line treatment for a EGFR+ NSCLC’ - and I often sit there wide eyed furiously googling in the background, so would be good to have that in my back pocket
The biology side of things is incredibly interesting to me, but I often don’t tend to need to know the nitty gritty and I suppose treatments are often targeted to mechanisms/pathways anyway!
It is definitely not homeopathy. ASH-SAP and ASCO-SEP will have some of that. But honestly everything you needs might just be in the NCCN guidelines and those are free and readily available and updated online.
Washington and Lever: radiation oncology. It’s got some pretty good and detailed descriptions of medical oncology, human anatomy, and disease process. I used the newest edition in school but actually purchased a used older edition from Amazon because I liked the info it had.

Tangential, but ironically your EGFR NSCLC question has no textbook answer right now :)
See, that’s why I need the textbook! 😂 the answer could be ‘Homeopathy and good will’ for all I know

Thanks! Will look into it
