02-28-2025 Clarification-We still collect radiation!
During the last Tumor Talk, people saw the list of retired fields & got excited thinking we do not collect radiation anymore… THIS IS NOT TRUE!!!
The fields that were retired were the old fields collected prior to the new Phase Specific fields introduced in 2018.
- NAACCR#1540 Rad–Treatment Volume- replaced with new fields.
- NACCR#1510 Rad–Regional Dose cGy- replaced with new fields.
- NAACCR#1520 Rad–No of Treatment Vol- replaced with new fields.
