Lung - Post Transplant Malignancy (PTM) Form

Post-Transplant Malignancy (PTM) Field Descriptions

The Post-Transplant Malignancy (PTM) record is generated after a malignancy has been reported in the Transplant Recipient Follow-up (TRF) record. The record should be completed by the transplant center responsible for the follow-up of the recipient at the time the cancer was reported. If the patient has more than one follow-up record because of a multi-organ transplant, the malignancy only needs to be reported in one of the follow-up records. If it is reported in more than one, only one PTM record will be generated.

If Yes was selected for Post Transplant Malignancies, along with one or more of the post-transplant malignancies listed on the TRF record, the following sections will display in the Post-Transplant Malignancy record: Donor Related, Recurrence of Pretransplant Malignancy, Post Transplant De Novo Solid Tumor and/or Post Tx Lymphoproliferative Disease and Lymphoma.

To change the section of the malignancy record that was generated, access the TRF record and select No to the section that is not needed, and select Yes to the section of the malignancy record that is needed. To delete the malignancy record, re-access the TRF record and select No in the Post Transplant Malignancies field.

Note: If no information is available about the malignancy except the fact that they were treated, contact the UNet^SM Help Desk at 1-800-978-4334. They will have the PTM record validated.

The PTM must be completed within 30 days from the record generation date. See OPTN/UNOS Policies for additional information. Use the search feature to locate specific policy information on Data Submission Requirements.

Recipient Information

The following fields reported in the recipient's last completed TRF record display.

Recipient name: Verify the last name, first name and middle initial of the transplant recipient.

Date of birth: Verify the recipient's date of birth.

Recipient SSN: Verify the recipient's social security number.

Recipient organ: Verify the type of organ transplanted.

TRF: Verify the Transplant Recipient Follow-up record number from which this malignancy record was generated.

Follow-up code: Verify the TRF Follow-up Code for the record from which this malignancy record was generated.

Transplant date: Verify that the displayed transplant date is correct. The transplant date is determined by the beginning of organ anastomosis. For a multi-organ transplant procedure, the transplant date for each organ is determined by the transplant date of the first organ transplanted.

Follow-up center: Verify that the follow-up center listed is responsible for the follow-up of the recipient at the time the cancer was reported.

Recipient center: Verify that the transplant center listed is where the transplant procedure took place.

Donor Related

This section will only display if Yes was selected for Donor Related on post transplant malignancies listed in the TRF record.

In most instances the donor does not have a history of cancer and transmission of cancer is unexpected. This occurrence is usually discovered when multiple recipients of organs from a single donor develop the same cancer (e.g. Melanoma). It may also occur when the clinical (not histological) diagnosis of primary brain cancer is made when, in fact, the donor had a metastatic brain cancer from an occult (concealed from observation) primary site.

Select one or more tumor types: Select all tumor types that apply to the patient by clicking on the checkbox next to the type.

Diagnosis date: Enter the date of diagnosis using the standard 8-digit format of MM/DD/YYYY. The date must fall within the follow-up period and after the transplant date that is displayed. If the month and year for any date is known but the exact day is unknown, enter a 15 for the day (i.e. the middle of the month).​ This field is required.

Treatment Information: Select the type of treatment used for this type of tumor by clicking on the checkbox beside the treatment type.

Recurrence of Pretransplant Malignancy

This section will only display if Yes was selected for Recurrence of Pretransplant Malignancy on post transplant malignancies listed in the TRF record.

The patient has a past history of cancer, and develops the same type of cancer post-transplantation. This does not apply to basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, unless it recurs in the original site. The patient has a cancer in an explanted (removed) organ (usually liver or maybe kidney), and later develops a recurrence of the same type of cancer. For example, the patient has a hepatocellular carcinoma of the native liver (hepatoma), which is resected at the time of transplantation, and develops a recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (at any site, at any time).
