Guide for use: | This information is collected for the site or region of first recurrence as distant metastasis. The term recurrence refers to the return, reappearance or metastasis of cancer of the same histology after a disease-free period. Distant metastasis refers to the spread of cancer of the same histology as the original (primary) tumour to distant organs or distant lymph nodes. Site or region refers to the anatomical location that the cancer has spread to. Distant metastasis may occur in more than one site; record all relevant distant metastatic sites. The region of locoregional recurrence is collected as a separate item. The record should not be updated with subsequent recurrences. |
---|---|
Collection methods: | The information should be obtained from the patient's medical record. |
Comments: | This is collected to identify in which anatomical structures recurrence occurs, and is useful for evaluating patterns of care and patient outcomes. |
