41. The drug cabazitaxel is used treating prostate cancer in doses of 25 mg/m². Calculate the dose for a
patient measuring 73 inches in height and weighing 190 lb. Use the Mosteller formula to calculate
BSA.
42. Calculate the quantities of each drug administered to a patient on day 1 of the EOX protocol in
Table 8.6 if the patient's BSA is 1.64 m².
43. Calculate the quantities of cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin for a patient on the CAV protocol in
Table 8.6 if the patient measures 150 cm and weighs 48 kg.
44. The drug carboplatin for ovarian carcinoma is administered intravenously at a dose of 360 mg/m²
except in patients with impaired kidney function, in which case the dose is reduced by 30%. How
many milligrams of the drug should be administered to a renally impaired patient measuring 5 feet 2
inches and weighing 110 lb? Use the Mosteller formula to determine BSA.
45. A high-dose treatment of osteosarcoma includes the use of methotrexate at a starting dose of 12
g/m² as a 4-hour intravenous infusion. For a patient having a BSA of 1.7 m² and weighing 162 lb,
calculate the dose on the basis of mg/kg/min.
