LOINC description : Records the surgical removal of distant lymph nodes or other tissue(s)/organ(s) beyond
the primary site at this facility. This field is to be used for ROADS codes after
the ROADS to FORDS conversion. It is also to be used to code Surgery Other Regional/Distant
Sites at the reporting facility for all tumors diagnosed before January 1, 2003. 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;
