ABSTRACT
Cancer Medications Enquiry Database (CanMED) is comprised of two interactive, nomenclature-specific databases within the Observational Research in Oncology Toolbox CanMED-Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) and CanMED-National Drug Code (NDC), described through this study. CanMED includes medications with a) a US Food and Drug Administration-approved cancer treatment or treatment-related symptom management indication, b) inclusion in treatment guidelines, or c) an orphan drug designation. To demonstrate the joint utility of CanMED, medication codes associated with female breast cancer treatment were identified and utilization patterns were assessed within Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results-Medicare (SEER) data. CanMED-NDC (11_2018 v.1.2.4) includes 6860 NDC codes chemotherapy (1870), immunotherapy (164), hormone therapy (3074), and ancillary therapy (1752). Treatment patterns among stage I-IIIA (20 701) and stage IIIB-IV (2381) breast cancer patients were accordant with guideline-recommended treatment by stage and molecular subtype. CanMED facilitates identification of medications from observational data (eg, claims and electronic health records), promoting more standardized and efficient treatment-related cancer research.
