6.5.3.1) Intravenous dose per cycle of MVAC Normal 1


Total tried:       Correct:       Wrong:

Regimen : MAVC for metastatic transitional cell bladder cancer.
Cycle: 28 days, repeat every 28 days for 4-6 cycles

  • Doxorubicin, 30 mg/m2, slow IV push, D 2
  • Vinblastin, 3 mg/m2, IV , D 2,15,22
  • Methotrexate, 30 mg/m2, slow IV push, D 1, 15, 22
  • Cisplatin, 70 mg/m2, IV , D 2
For doxorubicin, vinblastin, methotrexate and cisplatin calculate total intravenous dose per cycle for a patient measuring 5 feet 9 inches in height and weighing 326 lb.


Click on the button below to see the answer and explanations

lb equals 80.53 mg, 24.16 mg, 241.58 mg and 187.89 mg kg

  • The patient height
    = 5 feet 9 inches
    = ( 5 × 12 + 9 ) inch
    = 69 inch
    = 69 × 2.54 cm
    = 175.26 cm

  • patient weight
    = 326 lb
    = 326 × 0.454 kg
    = 148.0 kg

  • BSA for the patient is

    BSA `= \quad sqrt(( Height (cm) × Weight (Kg) )/(3600))`

    ` \quad \quad \quad = sqrt(( 175.26 \quad cm × 148.0 \quad Kg )/(3600)) = 2.6842 ` m2

  • For Doxorubicin :
    `( 30 \quad mg)/( 1 \quad m^2 )` × 2.6842 m2 × 1 (days of treatment) = 80.526 mg

  • For Vinblastin :
    `( 3 \quad mg)/( 1 \quad m^2 )` × 2.6842 m2 × 3 (days of treatment) = 24.1578 mg

  • For Methotrexate :
    `( 30 \quad mg)/( 1 \quad m^2 )` × 2.6842 m2 × 3 (days of treatment) = 241.578 mg

  • For Cisplatin :
    `( 70 \quad mg)/( 1 \quad m^2 )` × 2.6842 m2 × 1 (days of treatment) = 187.894 mg

`\quad \quad` Therefore,
`\quad \quad \quad` 80.53 mg, 24.16 mg, 241.58 mg and 187.89 mg `Ans.`
