C-C1-02: Validity of HMO Administrative Data for Breast Cancer Chemotherapy Exposure

Abstract

Background/Aims Chemotherapy-related toxicity, while a major focus of randomized clinical trials, has been understudied in population-based research. Eight Cancer Research Network (CRN) sites used Virtual Data Warehouse (VDW) data to examine the risk of cardiotoxicity following chemotherapy for invasive breast cancer. However, information on VDW chemotherapy data validity is limited. This study assessed the validity of VDW data related to the reception and dosages of cardiotoxic chemotherapeutic agents among breast cancer (BC) patients.
