Decision not to code this

We had added the code and then removed it, and then re-considered the removal. As per Task Team Meeting - Rolling Agenda and Minutes 2019#ICU Database Task Group Meeting – February 6, 2019:

The rationale is that what is considered chemotherapy is not quite confusing since: (a) many cytotoxic drugs are given for indications other than cancer, and (b) increasingly the drugs used for cancer are not cytotoxic but are biologics.
