This isn't exactly what you want, but there's a "Cancer Gene Census"
list you can get from here:

http://www.sanger.ac.uk/genetics/CGP/Census/

They list genes (by symbol & entrez id) and things like the types of
tumors they're found in, type of mutation, etc. There's no
oncogene/tumor-suppressor column, though ...

Perhaps there are better sources, but there's one.
