ASCO Risk Assessment Guidelines

The ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) Risk Assessment Guidelines help healthcare providers evaluate a cancer patient's risk of disease progression and treatment complications. They consider factors like tumor type, stage, patient health, and treatment options to categorize risk levels. Using this assessment, doctors can develop personalized treatment plans, optimize monitoring, and improve outcomes. Essentially, these guidelines ensure a structured approach to accurately identify patients who need more intensive care versus those who can be managed with standard protocols, aiming for safe, effective, and tailored cancer management.
