Guide for use: | The date is collected for all systemic therapy procedures administered to the patient during the treatment for cancer. A systemic therapy procedure is a medical, surgical or radiation procedure that has an effect on the hormonal or immunologic balance of the patient, and refers to haematologic transplant and endocrine procedures. Haematologic transplants are bone marrow or stem cell transplants performed to protect patients from myelosuppression or bone marrow ablation associated with the administration of high-dose chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Endocrine therapy is cancer therapy that achieves its antitumour effect through the use of radiation or surgical procedures that suppress the naturally occurring hormonal activity of the patient (when the cancer occurs at another site) and, therefore, alter or affect the long-term control of the cancer's growth. Haematologic transplant or endocrine procedures may be provided to prolong a patient's life by controlling symptoms, to alleviate pain, or make the patient more comfortable. The date of each treatment episode should be entered separately. The date of cancer-directed surgery, radiotherapy and treatment with systemic agents are collected as separate items. |

Collection methods: | This information should be obtained from the patient's medical record. |
Comments: | Collecting the start and finish dates for treatment modalities will enable an estimate of treatment duration. Note the distinction between the administration of systemic agents or drugs and systemic therapy procedures that affect the hormonal or immunologic balance of the patient. |
