Abstract
PURPOSE: Accurate identification of the primary tumor diagnosis of patients who have undergone stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) from electronic health records is a critical but challenging task. Traditional methods of identifying the primary tumor histology relying on International Classification of Diseases (ICD)9 and ICD10 CM codes often fall short in granularity and completeness, particularly for patients with metastatic cancer.
