Answer:
Code the decadron as hormonal treatment. Do not code the zometa--it is an ancillary agent.
In the August 2006 update of SEER*Rx, a note was added to decadron and other hormonal agents that they can be used to control white cell proliferation in lymphoma and multiple myeloma.
In general, decadron is used more commonly for supportive care and as an antiemetic than as hormone therapy.
