Table 1.

High and intermediate risk regimens for lung and breast cancer patients; the numbers correspond to the dosages per square meter of the substances. AUC = area under the curve for dosing of carboplatin according the Calvert formula. Data originates from the original publications and is mainly published by the German database for oncological treatment protocols Onkopti®, www.onkopti.de; dd = dose dense
