Collection and usage attributes | |
| Guide for use: | Record the first or earliest date on which immunotherapy was administered during the course of treatment. The start date of immunotherapy treatment is recorded regardless of whether the course of treatment is completed as intended, and regardless of the intent or timing of the immunotherapy. A patient may undergo immunotherapy for an extended period of time. The start date of the immunotherapy treatment is recorded even if the agent is experimental. Multiple entries are not permitted. Dates of surgery, radiotherapy and other systemic treatments are collected as separate items. However, if a patient receives treatment with a protocol that includes different types of systemic therapy agents, for example, a chemotherapy agent and an immunotherapy agent, record the completion date of treatment in both relevant data items. |
| Collection methods: | The 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. |
