| description | Records the surgical removal of distant lymph nodes or other tissue(s)/organ(s) beyond the primary site at this facility. The removal of non-primary tissue documents the extent of surgical treatment and is useful in evaluating the extent of metastatic involvement. If central registries wish to study the treatment given at particular hospitals, the hospital-level treatment fields must be used. The summary treatment fields, conversely, combine information across all hospitals that provide first course of treatment for the tumor. Hospital-specific fields allow studies of detailed referral patterns and treatment by type of hospital. Knowing what part of the treatment was given at a particular hospital also helps resolve coding issues... NAACCR Data Standards and Data Dictionary Version 11 | ||||
