Want to select patients who had ONLY surgery as ONLY treatment.
If I understand you correctly, this is what you want
data have;
input Pt $ malignancy Treatment $;
datalines;
A 1 Chemo
A 1 Surgery
A 1 Radio
A 2 Surgery
B 1 Surgery
C 1 Surgery
C 1 Chemo
D 1 Surgery
;
proc sql;
create table want as
select * from have
group by Pt, malignancy
having sum(Treatment='Surgery')=n(Treatment);
quit;
Result:
Pt malignancy Treatment A 2 Surgery B 1 Surgery D 1 Surgery
Patient A has other treatments? Why is he in there?

Thank you so much! The solution worked perfectly, appreciate your help.
Pt A was there because that patient had only surgery for malignancy # 2. But, we can't select that patient for malignancy #1 because the patient had multiple treatments for malignancy 1..
