Article Synopsis
- The study aims to analyze carboplatin dosing in cancer patients to see if they are receiving the correct dosage compared to theoretical calculations and how this affects future doses due to side effects.
- A retrospective review of 86 patients was conducted, focusing on body mass index and serum creatinine; significant discrepancies were found in the overweight/obese group where the actual dose differed considerably from the predicted dose.
- Results suggest that not accounting for adjusted weight or serum creatinine can lead to incorrect dosing in obese patients, highlighting the need for further research to explore the connection between initial overdosing and subsequent dose reductions due to toxicity.
