Alternate Names
   Systemic/Surgery Sequence
Description

Records the sequencing of systemic therapy (RX Summ-Chemo [1390], RX Summ-Hormone [1400], RX Summ-BRM [1410], and RX Summ-Transplnt/Endocr [3250]) and surgical procedures given as part of the first course of treatment. See also RX Summ--Surg Prim Site [1290], RX Summ--Scope LN Surg [1292], and RX Summ--Surg Oth Reg/Dis [1294].

Rationale

The sequence of systemic therapy and surgical procedures given as part of the first course of treatment cannot always be determined using the date on which each modality was started or performed. This data item can be used to more precisely evaluate the time of delivery of treatment to the patient.
