[10 years of computer-aided therapy planning in a department of pediatric hematology and oncology].
A computer program for the automated computation of chemotherapy has been introduced to a department of pediatric hematology and oncology. The program is used for about 700 treatments (100 patients) per year. On average, each physician performs 33 computations per year. Use of the program has greatly improved treatment safety, accompanied by a saving of about 50 minutes per computation, 30 minutes for physicians, 20 minutes for nurses, respectively.
