Required Data Elements

• Knowledge Representation of data elements has to match oncological thought
  • calls for a diagnosis/time based approach to data where sequencing and reasoning is preserved

---

• Demographics
  • need a way to use demographics to produce a unique ID to produce anonymous records if transferred
• Diagnosis
  • utilizing a structure which is mapped (via UMLS)
    • presently
      • using ICD .... 9 (USA) 10 (AU, NZ, UK?)
      • predominantly for malignant diagnosis alone
      • already includes structured morphology nomenclature (e.g. SNOMED
    • FUTURE
      • include all benign diagnoses (these are likely to be be transferrable from other specialties and GPs)
      • expanded morphology descriptors that include immunohistochemical patterns, genetic changes
• Stage
  • utilizing a structure which is mapped (via UMLS)
    • presently we use AJCC/UICC
    • in the future
      • utilizing more specific anatomical definitions
        • derived from CT/MRI/PET anatomy (?DICOM-SR subset)
        • described in an Anatomical Ontology
• Intent of Oncological Plan
• Employed Modalities
• Modality Details
