ASCO Value Framework

The ASCO Value Framework is a tool developed by the American Society of Clinical Oncology to help evaluate the value of cancer treatments. It considers not only the effectiveness of a treatment in improving survival or quality of life but also its costs and side effects. By weighing these factors, the framework aims to guide patients and healthcare providers in making informed decisions about cancer care, ensuring that the chosen treatments provide the best overall benefit relative to their cost. This approach promotes a more patient-centered understanding of what constitutes "value" in cancer treatment.
