Standardize common medical oncology treatment names (work in progress)

Source: R/OncReg.delim.R
OR.delim.txname.Rd

For each string in x, standardizes common cancer treatment names:

  1. Removes administration routes (such as "iv" and "oral"), scheduling terms (such as "q2w" and "weekly"), and other modifiers (such as "modified" and "single agent").

  2. Converts common separators ("&", "+", ",", "/", " and ", " with ") to a consistent delimiter.

  3. Removes supportive agents (such as "folinic acid").

  4. Replaces common trade names, abbreviations (such as "FOLFOX"), and synonyms (such as "T-DM1") with standardized names.

Usage

OR.delim.txname(x, delimiter = ",")

Arguments

x

String vector of delimited treatments.

delimiter

Value

A string vector of delimited standarized treatment names.
