Several factors can influence the determination of the optimal dosage:
- Type of Cancer: Different types of cancer may respond differently to the same treatment. - Stage of Cancer: Early-stage cancers might require different dosages compared to advanced-stage cancers. - Patient Characteristics: Age, weight, gender, and overall health can affect how a patient metabolizes and responds to treatment. - Genetic Factors: Genetic variations can influence how a patient responds to treatment, necessitating personalized dosages. - Combination Therapies: When multiple drugs are used in combination, their interactions can affect the optimal dosage.
