Field Length:  1

For cases diagnosed prior to January 1, 2010, this field is automatically calculated by CPDMS.net.  

This field records the sequencing of radiation and surgical procedures given as part of the first course of treatment.  Surgical procedures include Surgical Procedure at Primary Site, Scope of Regional Lymph Node Surgery, and Surgical Procedure/Other Site.  If no surgical procedures were performed, or if it is not known whether the patient received both surgery and radiation, this item should be coded 0. Code 0 for DCO cases.

Radiation therapy before surgery

Radiation therapy given before surgery to primary site, regional lymph node surgery, or surgery to other regional site(s), distant site(s), or distant lymph node(s).

3

Radiation therapy after surgery

Radiation therapy given after surgery to primary site, regional lymph node surgery, or surgery to other regional site(s), distant site(s), or distant lymph node(s).

4

Radiation therapy both before and after surgery

At least two courses of radiation therapy are given before and at least two more after surgery to the primary site; scope of regional lymph node surgery, surgery to other regional site(s), distant site(s), or distant lymph node(s).

5

Intraoperative radiation therapy

Intraoperative radiation therapy was administered during surgery to primary site, regional lymph node surgery, or surgery to other regional site(s), distant site(s), or distant lymph node(s).

6

Intraoperative radiation therapy with other radiation therapy administered before or after surgery

Intraoperative radiation therapy given during surgery to primary site, regional lymph node surgery, or surgery to other regional site(s), distant site(s), or distant lymph node(s) with other radiation therapy administered before or after surgery to primary site, regional lymph node surgery, or surgery to other regional site(s), distant site(s), or distant lymph node(s).

7

Surgery both before and after radiation

Radiation was administered between two separate surgical procedures to the primary site; regional lymph nodes; surgery to other regional site(s), distant site(s), or distant lymph node(s).
