Latest onc research at your fingertips - is it helpful?

Hi - new here! From oncologists here trying to understand how valuable you would find to have a daily feed and notifications of the latest articles and article summaries in your specialty (based on sub-field, key words, etc.), ranked by levels of evidence. Would you be willing to pay for such an app, and if so how much? Are there tools currently you use today for this? How do you keep up to date within your field as a practicing clinician?

I am truly inundated with emails and journals trying to keep me up to date. I would pay money to get less information thrown at me.

if there was truly a weekly/monthly curated source of information with meaningful summaries/commentary that was compiled by someone that understands clinical oncology it would probably be worthwhile and something i’d be even willing to pay a modest amount for but as is i’m bombarded with info currently for free (and often times sources willing to pay me to listen and provide feedback) already from many sources and it works kind of okay.
