What is gill's criteria?

Gill's criteria are a set of guidelines used to assess the appropriateness of a surgical procedure for patients with advanced cancer. These criteria help determine whether a patient is likely to benefit from surgery based on factors such as the extent of the disease, overall health, and potential for recovery. Specifically, they consider aspects like the patient's performance status, the resectability of the tumor, and the prognosis without surgery. By applying these criteria, clinicians aim to make informed decisions that balance the potential benefits and risks of surgical intervention in palliative care settings.
