I do not recall much emphasis on specific pharmacologic cancer tx as much as diagnosis based on pt's age/ CD-expression/ histological features etc... Do, however, know the major side effects associated with the popular anti-neoplastic agents. Hope this helps a little and good luck!

Seriously, neither school puts you at a disadvantage when it comes to choosing a competitive residency, especially with a PhD in engineering. Do well in med school/boards and your path is in your hands. I personally love the city of Chicago and couldn't deal with the humidity of the south...
