Description
Records the dose per fraction (treatment session) delivered to the patient in the third phase of radiation during the first course of treatment. The unit of measure is centiGray (cGy). This data item is required for CoC-accredited facilities for cases diagnosed as of 01/01/2018. Blanks allowed if no Phase III radiation treatment administered.


Rationale
Radiation therapy is delivered in one or more phases with identified dose per fraction. It is necessary to capture information describing the dose per fraction to evaluate patterns of radiation oncology care. Outcomes are strongly related to the dose delivered.
