Protocol Abstraction provides a structure for abstracting detailed descriptions of drug, radiation, and procedure/surgery interventions.
How to Generate Drug, Radiation, and Procedure/Surgery Descriptions
Search for the trial of interest. For instructions, refer to Searching for Trials in PA.
In the search results, click the NCI Trial Identifier link for that trial. The Trial Identification page appears.
On the Trial Identification page, check out the trial. For instructions, refer to Checking In and Checking Out Trials. (This checkout step is optional for Super Abstractors.)
On the Scientific Data menu, click Interventions. The Interventions page appears, with or without any intervention records displayed.
From the Intervention Type field, select Drug, Radiation, or Procedure/Surgery as appropriate.
Do not type an intervention description at this point. The system automatically populates the Intervention Description from information you provide in the next steps. |
Type your search criteria in the field(s) provided, and then click Search. If the information you are abstracting includes a range, for example, dose range, you can provide the lower limit without providing the upper limit. However, do not provide the upper limit of a range unless you also include a lower limit.
You must type at least one character in any of the search fields. |
The Search window displays the result(s) of your search.
