What is the Role of Body Surface Area (BSA) in Dosage Calculation?
Body Surface Area (BSA) is a common method used to calculate chemotherapy dosages. BSA is considered a more accurate measure than body weight because it accounts for differences in body composition. The formula for BSA often used is the Mosteller formula: \( BSA (m^2) = \sqrt{ \left( \frac{height (cm) \times weight (kg)}{3600} \right) } \).
