CODE 1 Neo-adjuvant This code should be recorded when androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is used prior to the main treatment. CODE 2 Adjuvant This code should be recorded when androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is used after the main treatment. CODE 3 Salvage This code should be recorded when androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is used after a recurrence of prostate cancer for a patient who has had a radical prostatectomy. CODE 4 Palliative This code should be recorded when androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is used to manage and alleviate symptoms and control tumour growth in palliative patients.

Collection and usage attributes | |
| Guide for use: | Record whether androgen deprivation therapy was used in the treatment of a person with cancer. Where patients have recieved androgen deprivation therapy for multiple purposes record this item multiple times. Androgen hormones stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells, and so the reduction of androgen hormones aims to reduce the spread of prostate cancer. This includes both chemical treatments, such as Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists and antagonists, and surgical treatment, such as an orchiectomy. |
