LOINC description : Identifies other treatment given at this facility that cannot be defined as surgery,
radiation, or systemic therapy according to the defined data items in this manual.
Treatment for reportable hematopoietic diseases can be supportive care, observation,
or any treatment that does not meet the usual definition in which treatment modifies,
controls, removes, or destroys proliferating cancer tissue. Such treatments include
phlebotomy, transfusions, and aspirin. Information on other therapy is used to describe
and evaluate the quality-of-care and treatment practices. 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;
