This field is to be used for ROADS codes after the ROADS to FORDS conversion. It is
also to be used to code Surgery Regional/Distant Sites at all facilities 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
