How Is the Dose Determined for Pediatric Patients?

The dosing of chemotherapeutic agents in children is typically based on body surface area (BSA) or weight, adjusted for age and developmental stage. Pediatric oncologists use specific formulas to calculate the correct dosage, ensuring it is effective while minimizing toxicity. Regular monitoring and dose adjustments are necessary to account for changes in the child’s growth and response to treatment.
