Understanding research

Anyone have advice regarding books or websites I can check out in order to better understand some of these rad onc research studies?

I feel like as a medical student I usually have no idea what's going on with a lot of the finer details. It doesn't help that my schools stats course was awful.

So I guess my question is two-fold. One, what's a good way to learn about studies so I can understand them better. Two, is there a way you guys usually tackle studies in order to gain the most knowledge from them?

Any help would be appreciated!

Read the FAQ. There are a few free websites which are superb for referencing Rad Onc studies.

Actually just came across a pretty good book. Not catered to Rad Onc but probably not a bad place to start

I am currently a PGY2 resident, and I have found this book very helpful:
