Collection and usage attributes | |
Guide for use: | The procedure code is collected for all cancer-directed surgery performed during initial treatment for cancer. The initial treatment includes all treatments performed from diagnosis and before disease progression or recurrence. Cancer-directed surgery refers to all surgery that destroys or modifies cancer tissue anywhere in the body. Cancer-directed surgery may be palliative (to control symptoms, alleviate pain, or make the patient more comfortable), or curative. Biopsies that remove the entire tumour and/or leave only microscopic margins are to be recorded here. The procedure code for each surgical treatment episode should be entered separately. Endocrine surgery for the purpose of modifying hormone levels is recorded with data element Cancer treatment—systemic therapy procedure, code N[N]. |

Collection methods: | This information should be obtained from the patient's medical record. |
Comments: | The collection of specific treatment information is useful to evaluate patterns of care, the effectiveness of different treatment modalities, and treatment by patient outcome. |
