Guide for use: | All treatments administered to the patient during the initial course of cancer treatment should be recorded. The initial course of treatment includes all treatments administered to the patient from diagnosis and before disease progression or recurrence. When the patient has received treatment for cancer and codes 1 to 7 are recorded, the relevant treatment information for each treatment modality should also be collected. Cancer-directed treatments administered to the patient during the initial course of treatment that cannot be characterised as surgery, radiotherapy or systemic therapy according to the definitions in this data set specification, are recorded separately in the data element Cancer treatment—other cancer treatment, text [X(150)]. |
