Treatment

If a participant was diagnosed with lung cancer during the trial, medical records of treatment for that cancer were obtained. The datasets only contain data on the initial course of treatment for up to twelve months after diagnosis (though treatment was usually initiated within six months of diagnosis).

The Treatment dataset contains one record per treatment procedure received per participant.
