   How did you decide which SNOMED codes were correct?
   
   
   
       > Interestingly, cTAKES identified these instances of "Chemotherapy" 
using
   
   codes 363688001 and 367336001.
   
   The UMLS CUI C3665472, with TUI T061 (Therapeutic or Preventive Procedure),
   includes the SNOMED codes:
   
      - Chemotherapy (367336001)
      - Administration of antineoplastic agent (363688001)
   
   
   
       > However, the specific SNOMED codes that accurately represent the
   
   diagnosis of "Chemotherapy"
   
   What's your reason for treating "Chemotherapy" as a diagnosis, rather than
   a procedure?
   
   
   
       > This particular report has been diagnosed with ICD10 code Z51.11.
   
   The ICD10CM code Z51.11 code description says "Encounter for antineoplastic
   chemotherapy".
   Like many ICD10CM Z-codes, it's a diagnostic label indicating a procedure
   was (to be) performed.
   
   
   
       > ...are 373832009, 373833004, 373835006, and 373836007.
   
   Your four SNOMED codes are all closely related, and semantically loaded:
   they mean more than just the concept of chemotherapy.
   The last three are children of the first, and to me they look mutually
   exclusive.
   
      - 373832009: Reason for change in planned chemotherapy treatment (UMLS
      CUI: C1298666)
         - 373833004: Chemotherapy changed - progressive disease during
         chemotherapy (UMLS CUI: C1298667)
         - 373835006: Chemotherapy changed due to technical or organizational
         problems (UMLS CUI: C1300033)
         - 373836007: Chemotherapy changed - patient choice (UMLS CUI:
         C1298669)
