Feature Request: Create new treatment table for Immunotherapy

[hknahal]

As discussed with working group:

In our dictionary, we use the term “Monoclonal antibodies (for liquid tumours)”. However, monoclonal antibodies are not always associated with liquid tumours. For example, in breast cancer HER+, patients get treated with monoclonal antibodies (sometimes called immunotherapy). Proposed the following changes:

Instead of the two current categories “Immunotherapy” and “Monoclonal antibodies” use: Immunotherapy, monoclonal antibodies other than immune checkpoint inhibitors Immunotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors Immunotherapy, cell-based Immunotherapy, other immunomodulatory substances

Detailed Description

1. Will remove the term Monoclonal antibodies (for liquid tumours) from the treatment_type codelist and leave just Immunotherapy

2. Will create a separate treatment table called Immunotherapy with the following fields (to begin with):

   • program_id
   • submitter_donor_id
   • submitter_treatment_id
   • immunotherapy_type which will include a codelist with the following terms:

3. Immunotherapy, monoclonal antibodies other than immune checkpoint inhibitors

4. Immunotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors

5. Immunotherapy, cell-based

6. Immunotherapy, other immunomodulatory substances

• immunotherapy_drug_name (similar to how we plan to have RxNorm drug name fields set up in the hormone and chemotherapy tables)

Will most likely add a few more fields to this table after gathering more information from working group.

This is related to https://github.com/icgc-argo/argo-dictionary/issues/240 so will close this ticket since it's duplicated.
