OncoDesk

A working oncology reference, kept current by design — tumour-by-tumour treatment notes, drug toxicity tables, and presentation-based clerking, written the way a registrar actually uses them.

OncoDesk · part of MedDesk — written and maintained by Adam, Clinical Registrar · re-verified section by section on a rolling cycle, with a weekly watch on practice-changing evidence.

For clinicians, as a study and orientation reference only. This is not medical advice and it does not replace judgement, your institution's protocols, or the current guideline text — verify against NCCN / ESMO / your formulary before any clinical decision.

How OncoDesk stays current

Three layers. Every claim is anchored to the guideline bodies (NCCN · ESMO · NCI PDQ · ASCO) and the practice-changing trial is named in the text. Every section is re-verified on a rolling cycle — the whole book roughly monthly. And a weekly journal watch adds evidence that is ahead of the guidelines, always marked as study-grade so it never masquerades as guideline-grade. Where verification ran through secondary sources rather than the primary text, the page says so.
