Core Tip This editorial discusses Primary Gastrointestinal Lymphoma (PGIL), a rare and heterogeneous cancer. It highlights a key finding from a recent study: poor performance status (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group [ECOG] score ≥2) is the strongest independent predictor of survival. We argue for the renewed integration of this fundamental clinical assessment with modern molecular profiling to guide personalized, risk-adapted therapy for PGIL, ensuring treatment intensity matches the patient's physiologic capacity.
