Looking for study material for pimping on a radonc rotation... any ideas?

Radiation Oncology: A Question Based Review by Hristov, et al. It's the closest thing radonc has to the Surgical Recalls book that helped so many of us get through 3rd year surgery rotations.

Concur with above post.

One mistake I made during my aways was I concentrated on learning rad/onc specific stuff (physics, management) when I was asked more about anatomy, basic workup, classic presentations of diseases, etc... Your attendings and residents know you're a medical student and are more likely to ask you the location of the motor strip or a pelvic anatomy question than about studies on altered vs conventional fractionation for H&N cancers.

I like this book in terms of format and most content. However, I have found a surprising number of errors. Hopefully this is remedied in the next edition b/c it's a good resource.

I second Napoleon Dynamite's observation. Whenever I see a trial quoted in the book, I have taken to at least reading the abstract to double check treatment arms, numbers, etc.
