The program MUTO has further comments:
Regarding the end-of-life treatment type, we believe it would carry more significance than simply stating "No treatment," particularly when information is available. Currently, the data dictionary includes "palliative" as a possible treatment intent. Our available information for end-of-life treatment includes the start and end of treatment, as well as the intent (palliative). However, following internal discussions, if adding the "End-of-life" field to the treatment type proves to be too complex, we are willing to input "No treatment" instead.

The requires to add the new term End of life care into enum list of treatment_type: https://github.com/icgc-argo/argo-dictionary/blob/develop/schemas/treatment.json#L73-L86
