🌊Just presented at #ECIP on structuring research centers in turbulent times. Brazil: 3.1% of global cancer cases, only 1.9% of clinical studies. Decentralization = Democratization. Regional centers are the future of oncology research.

💣 Important Shift in Cytopenia Grading: CTCAE v6.0 Update

If you are a PI running #Hematology or #Oncology trials, note these key changes in the new CTCAE v6.0 vs v5.0:

📉 General Trend: "Downgrading" of severity. Many counts that were previously Grade 3/4 are now lower grades.

🧪 Neutrophils:

Grade 1 Gone: ANC 1000–1500 is now Grade 1 (was G2). The old Grade 1 (1500–LLN) is no longer graded.

Stricter G4: threshold drops from <500 to <100/mm³.

🩸 Platelets (Thrombocytopenia):

Wider G3: Now covers 10k–50k (previously 25k–50k).

Stricter G4: threshold drops from <25k to <10k/mm³.

v6.0 also adds "transfusion indicated" to Grade 3 and "urgent intervention indicated" to Grade 4 criteria.

Overall, IMO these new thresholds align better with clinical practice.
