cancer treatment
I encountered the following in a medical report (for a patient undergoing chemotherapy + radiotherapy treatment for cancer) and admitted for musositis. The patient eventually died due to respiratory distress. I am unable to determine the abbreviation "PS".
"Paciente ingresada a servicio de oncologia el 22/09/10 con PS=3. A pesar de tratamiento la paciente no mejora..."
Please can anyone help with this?
