HL7 Europe Common Cancer Model, published by HL7 Europe. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 0.1.0 built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/hl7-eu/cancer-common/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions
This page provides a list of the FHIR artifacts defined as part of this implementation guide.
These define data models that represent the domain covered by this implementation guide in more business-friendly terms than the underlying FHIR resources.
| Active Surveillance |
Logical model representing an active surveillance strategy in which the patient is monitored over time without active treatment, prior to disease progression. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet ActiveSurveillance). |
| Cancer Patient |
Logical model describing the patient affected by cancer, acting as the central subject for diagnosis, treatments, disease evolution and follow-up. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet CancerPatient). |
| CancerConditionAtDiagnosis |
Logical model representing the cancer condition at first diagnosis, capturing initial tumour characteristics and the diagnostic context that initiates the cancer journey. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet CancerConditionAtDiagnosis). |
| CancerStage |
Logical model representing the cancer stage at the time of first diagnosis. The stage may be clinical or pathological: the clinical stage is derived from imaging evidence, while the pathological stage, when available, is derived from surgical evidence. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet CancerStage). |
| ClinicalCancerProgression |
Logical model representing the longitudinal evolution of the cancer disease, documenting disease status and extent at a specific point in time. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet ClinicalCancerProgression). |
| Imaging |
Logical model representing a diagnostic imaging procedure performed to define the diagnosis and the clinical stage. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet Imaging). |
| LastFollowUp |
Logical model representing the assessment of the patient’s status at a specific follow-up visit, including vital status and evidence of disease. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet LastFollowUp). |
| OverallCancerTreatmentResponse |
Logical model representing the overall assessment of the cancer’s response to one or more treatment episodes at a specific time point. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet OverallCancerTreatmentResponse). |
| Radiotherapy |
Logical model representing a radiotherapy treatment course administered to the patient, including intent, timing, and anatomical target. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet Radiotherapy). |
| Surgery |
Logical model representing a surgical treatment episode delivered to the patient for cancer management. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet Surgery). |
| SystemicTreatment |
Logical model representing a systemic anti-cancer treatment episode delivered to the patient, either at diagnosis or following disease progression. Derived from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260521.xlsx (sheet SystemicTreatment). |
These define constraints on FHIR resources for systems conforming to this implementation guide.
| Observation: Comorbidities |
This profile constrains the Observation resource to represent Comorbidities for the purpose of the ECCDM. This profiles is adapted from the mCode FHIR Implementation Guide |
| Patient (CCM) |
This profile defines how to represent Patient in FHIR for the purpose of the ECCDM. |
These are example instances that show what data produced and consumed by systems conforming with this implementation guide might look like.
