Site-specific codes for the type of surgery to the primary site performed as part of the first course of treatment. This includes treatment given at all facilities as part of the first course of treatment. This field is to be used for ROADS codes after the ROADS to FORDS conversion. It is also to be used to code Surgery Primary Site at all facilities for all tumors diagnosed before January 1, 2003. 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
