  • (If relapse/progression occurred, include for each episode:)
    • [YYYY-MM-DD] – Relapse/progression at [site(s)]; [confirmatory testing]
    • [YYYY-MM-DD to YYYY-MM-DD] – Salvage therapy with [regimen] – [response achieved]
    • [Notable additional exposures introduced during salvage]
  • [YYYY-MM-DD] – [Transplant or cellular therapy] (If applicable.)
  • [YYYY-MM-DD] – Final end-of-therapy date
  • [YYYY-MM-DD] – Last disease evaluation by [modality] – [status/response]

Antineoplastic Therapy Exposures

(This section is the source of truth for exposure-based survivorship care. Use generic drug names. For each cumulative dose, indicate verification status in Data Sources and Limitations.)

Systemic Therapy

(List all chemotherapy and systemic agents individually. If cumulative dose is unknown, state "cumulative dose unavailable" and cite the data gap.)

Agent Route Phase/Context Date Range Cumulative Dose (mg/m²) Notes
[agent name] [IV / PO / IT / IM / SQ] [phase/context] [YYYY-MM-DD to YYYY-MM-DD] [value or "Unavailable"] [dose reductions, delays, or deviations from protocol with reason]

Anthracycline Summary: [per-agent cumulative doses]; doxorubicin-equivalent total: [dose] mg/m²

Alkylating Agent Summary: [per-agent cumulative doses]; cyclophosphamide-equivalent dose (CED): [dose] mg/m² (If not tracked, state "CED not calculated.")

Intrathecal Therapy: [agent(s)], [number of doses], [date range]

Targeted/Immunotherapy: [agent and target], [duration or cumulative dose], [date range] (Include if applicable.)

Radiation Therapy

(Document each radiation course. Include key organ-at-risk doses if available and clinically meaningful.)

Site/Target Modality Technique Total Dose (Gy) Dose/Fraction (Gy) # Fractions Dates Field Descriptor Key OAR Doses
[site/target] [photon / proton / electron] [3D-CRT / IMRT / VMAT / other] [total Gy] [Gy per fraction] [number] [YYYY-MM-DD to YYYY-MM-DD] [e.g., craniospinal, whole lung, mediastinal] [e.g., mean heart dose] (If unavailable, state so.)

Surgery and Major Procedures

  • [YYYY-MM-DD] – [Procedure type] – [site] – [key outcome, e.g., margin status, pathology accession #]

(Include diagnostic biopsies, definitive resections with margin status, limb-sparing or amputation procedures, organ resections, and device placements/removals.)

Hematopoietic Cell Transplant or Cellular Therapy

(Include only if performed.)

HSCT: [Autologous / Allogeneic] on [YYYY-MM-DD]; donor: [type/source]; conditioning: [regimen with agents and doses if available]; GVHD: [none, or acute/chronic with grade, organs involved, current status]

Cellular Therapy: [Product type/target] on [YYYY-MM-DD]; bridging therapy: [regimen]; acute toxicities: [CRS/ICANS grade and resolution status]

Major Complications During Therapy

(Include only complications with high clinical impact: required hospitalization/ICU, caused dose modification or therapy discontinuation, required invasive intervention, led to chronic conditions or ongoing specialty follow-up, or represent sentinel risks for late effects. Omit organ systems without significant complications.)

(Relevant systems: infectious, hematologic/immune, cardiac, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, neurologic, endocrine, musculoskeletal, GI/nutrition, psychosocial if significant.)

  • Ongoing maintenance therapy: [regimen and expected duration] (If applicable; clarify what "end-of-therapy" refers to in this context.)

Data Sources and Limitations

Primary data sources: [EHR chemotherapy administration records, pharmacy records, radiation oncology summary, operative reports, outside records, pathology systems, patient/family report]
