How to Use This Calculator

Review the ECOG performance status scale descriptions: 0 = fully active to 5 = deceased.
Select the score that best describes the patient's current functional capacity.
Read the ECOG score and its clinical interpretation for treatment planning.
Review Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS) equivalent for comparison with older literature.
Use performance status to guide treatment intensity — ECOG >= 3 often limits aggressive chemotherapy.
