Body surface area capping may not improve cytotoxic drugs tolerance

Abstract Capping body surface area (BSA) at 2 m2 is a routine clinical practice. It aims at reducing toxicities in over 2 m2 BSA patients. 455,502 computerized chemotherapy prescriptions made between 2011 and 2017 were taken from BPC software. Chemotherapy computerized order entry is created by a se...
