Q

NSCLC staging

A
  • stage 2: confied to lung
  • stage 2: ipsilateral lymph node involvement

Q

SCLC staging

A
  • limited stage: confied to one lung +/- lypmh node involvement on same side

Q

ciplatin vs carboplatin

A
  • cisplatin just a teensy bit better for treating (but more or less comparable efficacy)
  • cisplatin more ADR:
    - N/V
    - nephrotox (hypoMg and K)

Q

calculating carboplatin dose

A
  • determine wt
    - IBW = (50 or 45.5) + 2.3(inches - 60)
    - if ABW = 1.2 x IBW, use adj BW (=IBW + 0.4 (ABW-IBW)
    - if ABW < IBW: use ABW
  • CrCl (Cockcoft Grault) - Meaney would be big sad if you didn’t already have this memorized
  • Calvert equation: total mg = (total AUC)(CrCl + 25)

CrCl canNOT exceed 125
