Assessment of physical condition (PC) is of utmost interest for physicians and specifically for medical oncologists, since it is highly informative for the process of therapeutic decision-making. PC is the ability to carry out daily tasks with vigour and alertness, without undue fatigue and with ample energy to engage in leisure time pursuits and to meet the above-average physical stresses encountered in emergency situations.
