Cancer treatment—immunotherapy completion date, DDMMYYYY

Guide for use:

The completion date of immunotherapy treatment is the date of the last dose administered during the initial course of treatment. The initial course of treatment includes all treatments administered to the patient from diagnosis and before disease progression or recurrence.

The completion date of immunotherapy treatment is recorded regardless of whether the course of treatment is completed as intended, and regardless of the intent or timing of the immunotherapy.

A patient may undergo immunotherapy for an extended period of time.

The completion date of the immunotherapy treatment is recorded even if the agent is experimental.

Multiple entries are not permitted.

Dates of surgical, radiotherapy and other systemic treatments are collected as separate items. However, if a patient receives treatment with a protocol that includes different types of systemic therapy agents, for example, a chemotherapy agent and an immunotherapy agent, record the completion date of treatment in both relevant data items.

Collecting the start and finish dates for treatment modalities will enable an estimate of treatment duration.
