NAACCR XML: Tumor.rxSummTreatmentStatus

Description

This data item is a summary of the status for all treatment modalities. It is used in conjunction with Date Initial RX SEER [1260] and/or Date 1st Crs RX CoC [1270] and each modality of treatment with their respective date field to document whether treatment was given or not given, whether it is unknown if treatment was given, or whether treatment was given on an unknown date. Also indicates active surveillance (watchful waiting). This data item is effective for January 2010+ diagnoses.

Rationale

This field will document active surveillance (watchful waiting) and eliminate searching each treatment modality to determine whether treatment was given.
