    The Regional Nodes Examined field captures the total number of lymph nodes removed and microscopically evaluated by the pathologist.

  2. Brachytherapy is best categorized under which type of radiation therapy delivery?

    Answer: Internal radiation

    Brachytherapy places radioactive sources inside or immediately adjacent to the tumor, classifying it as internal radiation.

  3. A patient with colorectal cancer receives bevacizumab along with FOLFOX. How should bevacizumab be classified?

    Answer: Targeted therapy

    Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody targeting VEGF, classifying it as targeted therapy rather than conventional chemotherapy.

  4. Which STORE field records whether chemotherapy was given as part of the first course of treatment?

    Answer: RX Summ–Chemo

    The RX Summ–Chemo field uses standardized codes to indicate whether and what type of chemotherapy was administered in the first course.

  5. If surgery is performed at a reporting facility but radiation therapy is given at another facility, how should treatment be abstracted?

    Answer: Abstract all treatment received, regardless of facility

    STORE guidelines require abstractors to capture all first-course treatment regardless of where it was administered.

  6. What is the purpose of the 'Palliative Care' field in the treatment summary?

    Answer: To indicate treatment aimed at symptom relief rather than cure

    The Palliative Care field flags whether treatment was intended to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life rather than achieve cure or remission.
