NAACCR XML: Tumor.radBoostDoseCgy


Alternate Names

   Boost Radiation Dose: cGy

Description

Records the additional dose delivered to that part of the treatment volume encompassed by the boost fields or devices. The unit of measure is centiGray (cGy).



Rationale

To evaluate patterns of radiation oncology care, it is necessary to describe the boost radiation dose. A boost dose is administered to a volume within the regional volume. As in chemotherapy, outcomes are strongly related to the dose delivered.
