title: [Clinical study for determination of the dosage formula for intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy with nedaplatin].
abstract: Area under the curve (AUC) is a very important parameter for determination of optimal dosage of antineoplastic agents in order to avoid side effects and achieve high effectiveness. Also, even if a certain dosage is administered, measured AUC is different in each individual. Therefore, it is important to determine the formula of the dosage of antineoplastic agents. We treated oral cancer using an intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy with nedaplatin (CDGP). Eighteen patients were treated with CDGP at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Kagawa Medical University, from October 1998 to June 2002. The correlation among expected AUC, dosage, CDGP clearance and 24 hr creatinine clearance in all chemotherapy was monitored and examined. The obtained formula in the dosage of intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy with Nedaplatin was as follows. dosage = AUC x (0.027 x CCr + 7.17).
