ASMR 2017

NCI - CTCAE v3.0

• 2003

• All organ systems covered with a total of 370 criteria listed

• Amalgamation of acute and late effects

• Can be applied to all modalities (Surgical, medical and

radiation oncology)

• Duration and sequence of an adverse event should be recorded

• This is a “grading dictionary” not intended to assess treatment

regimes or determine what is acceptable or not

 This is still a clinical judgement of risks vs. benefits
