Performance Status
For education. Check every result.
Anatium is a study resource, not medical advice. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prescription or a substitute for a clinician who has seen the patient. Check every number against a current local protocol before it touches anyone, and never act on a result you cannot reproduce yourself.
How it is calculated
Performance status often decides whether chemotherapy is given at all - most trials require ECOG 0-2, and ECOG 3-4 usually means best supportive care rather than cytotoxic treatment. It predicts tolerance and survival better than age does.
About
Performance status: how much a patient's illness limits daily activity. Often decides whether chemotherapy is given at all.
