Hi,

I'm trying to archetype patient records in a prostate cancer  
environment. I see that there are currently no specific archetypes for  
common cancer treatments such as radiotherapy, hormone therapy and  
chemotherapy. Could hormone therapy and chemotherapy be described as  
specializations of the openEHR-EHR-INSTRUCTION.medication.v1  
archetype? And could radiotherapy be described with a specialization  
of openEHR-EHR-INSTRUCTION.non_drug_therapy.v1? Or should these be  
described in completely new archetypes (e.g. INSTRUCTION.radiotherapy/ 
hormone_therapy/chemotherapy)?

Thanks for your help,
Melanie Spath.
