Abstract
Not using adjusted weight or serum creatinine values in the Cockcroft-Gault equation may lead to incorrect doses of carboplatin in obese patients. Studies including a larger number of patients are required to confirm the relationship between overdosing during the first cycle and dose reduction in subsequent cycles, as a result of carboplatin toxicity.
