This SearchParameter enables query of conditions by code with the |
These are profiles on resources or data types that describe patterns used by other profiles, but cannot be instantiated directly. I.e. instances can conform to profiles based on these abstract profiles, but do not declare conformance to the abstract profiles themselves.
Cancer Stage Profile |
Parent profile for observations regarding cancer stage, grade, classification, or risk group. The stage is an assessment of the extent of the cancer in the body, according to a given cancer staging classification system. Profiles for different staging systems (e.g., TNM stage group, Rai stage, FIGO stage, etc.) must derive from this profile. Despite its name, the CancerStage profile can also be used as a parent for cancer grade, classification, and risk grouping. This is because the structure of the profiles are the same or very similar. The key elements are the code, method, value, and optionally, prognostic factors referenced in the hasMember element. |
Parent for T, N, and M Categories. |
Parent profile for T, N, and M category profiles. |
These define constraints on FHIR resources for systems conforming to this implementation guide.
CLL Binet Stage Profile |
Binet stage for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) |
CLL Rai Stage Profile |
Rai stage for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) |
Cancer Disease Status Profile |
A clinician’s qualitative judgment on the current trend of the cancer, e.g., whether it is stable, worsening (progressing), or improving (responding). The judgment may be based a single type or multiple kinds of evidence, such as imaging data, assessment of symptoms, tumor markers, laboratory data, etc. |
Cancer Patient Profile |
A patient who has been diagnosed with or is receiving medical treatment for a malignant growth or tumor. The only difference between CancerPatient and US Core Patient is that Patient.deceased is a must-support element in mCODE. Must-support is an instruction to implementers of FHIR clients and servers, rather than a constraint on data structure. Any Patient resource complying with US Core Patient Profile will also comply with CancerPatient. |
Cancer-Related Medication Administration Profile |
An episode of medication administration for a patient whose condition is related to a primary or secondary cancer condition. In the context of chemotherapy drugs, the medication administration in most cases is performed and documented by the provider. |
Cancer-Related Medication Request Profile |
A record of a medication prescription or consumption associated with cancer treatment. The medication may reported by the prescriber, prescribing organization, or patient. It does not have to be directly observed. |
Cancer-Related Surgical Procedure Profile |
A surgical action addressing a cancer condition. The scope of this profile has been narrowed to cancer-related procedures by constraining the reasonReference and reasonCode to cancer conditions, one of which is required. |
Comorbidities Profile |
General structure for capturing comorbid conditions with respect to a primary (‘index’) condition. The user can use this profile in three ways: (1) free-form, listing any conditions they wish to highlight as significant comorbidities, (2) following a formal paradigm such as the Charlson Comorbidity Index or the NCI Comorbidity Index, or (3) use disease categories defined for registry reporting purposes, such as those defined by Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR). |
ECOG Performance Status Profile |
The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status represents the patient’s functional status and is used to determine their ability to tolerate therapies in serious illness, specifically for chemotherapy. (Definition from: LOINC) |
Genomic Region Studied Profile |
A subset of genes or genomic regions of interest in a targeted resequencing study. |
Genomic Variant Profile |
Details about a set of changes in the tested sample compared to a reference sequence. The term variant can be used to describe an alteration that may be benign, pathogenic, or of unknown significance. The term variant is increasingly being used in place of the term mutation. Variants can be computed relative to reference sequence assembly from which it was identified. |
Genomics Report Profile |
Genomic analysis summary report. The report may include one or more tests, with two distinct test types. The first type is a targeted mutation test, where a specific mutation on a specific gene is tested for. The result is either positive or negative for that mutation. The second type is a more general test for variants. This type of test returns the identity of variants found in a certain region of the genome. |
Gynecologic Tumor FIGO Stage Profile |
Gynecologic tumor stage by International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) Staging System |
History of Metastatic Cancer |
Records the existence of a past episode of metastatic cancer, for the purpose of long term management and tracking. |
Human Specimen Profile |
A specimen taken from a Patient for the purpose of oncology-related testing. The profile includes extensions to specify a more precise body site and an identifier of source body structure at that site (for example, a tumor identifier). |
Karnofsky Performance Status Profile |
The Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) is a tool used to measure a patient’s functional status. It can be used to compare the effectiveness of different therapies and to help assess the prognosis of certain patients, such as those with certain cancers. The KPS score ranges from 0 to 100 in intervals of 10. Higher scores are associated with better functional status, with 100 representing no symptoms or evidence of disease, and 0 representing death. |
Lymphoma Stage Profile |
Staging of lymphoma (both Hodgkins and Non-Hodgkins) by Ann Arbor, Cotswold, or Lugano staging systems. The method (required) indicates which of these related staging systems was used. |

Prostate Gleason Grade Group Profile |
Gleason Grade Group for prostatic cancer |
Radiotherapy Course Summary Profile |
A summary of a course of radiotherapy delivered to a patient. It records the treatment intent, termination reason, modalities, techniques, number of sessions, and doses delivered to one or more body volumes. Whether the course has been fully delivered or stopped is indicated in the status element. |
Radiotherapy Volume Profile |
A volume of the body used in radiotherapy planning or treatment delivery. |
Secondary Cancer Condition Profile |
Records the history of secondary neoplasms, including location(s) and the date of onset of metastases. A secondary cancer results from the spread (metastasization) of cancer from its original site (Definition from: NCI Dictionary of Cancer Terms). |

TNM Stage Group Profile |
Reporting of the stage group representing the overall extent of a cancer, based on AJCC staging guidelines. |
Tumor Marker Test Profile |
The result of a tumor marker test. Tumor marker tests are generally used to guide cancer treatment decisions and monitor treatment, as well as to predict the chance of recovery and cancer recurrence. |
Tumor Profile |
Identifies a tumor that has not been removed from the body. Whenever possible, a single resource conforming to this profile will be used to track a tumor over time (as opposed to creating new Tumor-conforming BodyStructure resources each time that tumor is measured). Use HumanSpecimen to represent the tumor after removal from the body. Note that the required code for morphology used in STU2 is now inactive. A new code has been specified and SHOULD be used, but the old code remains conformant. |
Tumor Size Profile |
Records the dimensions of a tumor |
mCODE Patient Bundle Profile |
A collection of data for an mCODE cancer patient. |
