LOINC description : Records whether systemic hormonal agents were administered as first-course treatment
at this facility or the reason they were not given. Hormone therapy consists of a
group of drugs that may affect the long-term control of a cancer's growth. It is not
usually used as a curative measure. Systemic therapy may involve the administration
of one or a combination of agents. This data item allows for the evaluation of the
administration of hormonal agents as part of the first course of therapy. 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;
