hematology and oncology secrets

As a physician assistant working in a medical hematology/oncology practice, I find this book to be invaluable. It explains the pathophysiology of the diseases at a level down from the oncologist, yet detailed enough to be educational. It is also good for quick reading. However, it is now 6 years old and with all the advancements in cancer treatment, needs to be updated. I am waiting for a new edition, yet it doesn't appear as if one is forthcoming. Therefore it is good for the basics, but as many treatments have changed and improved, it may be best to wait until the next edition, if there is one.
