name
descriptionDefines the type of radiation therapy the patient received as a part of the initial treatment for the reportable tumor at the reporting facility. 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
