Osteosarcoma

Anthracycline

75–300 mg/m2

450 mg/m2

375–450 mg/m2

375 mg/m2

375–450 mg/m2

Doxorubicin

Daunorubicin

Idarubicin

Mitoxantrone

Cyclophosphamide

1–4 gm/m2
 
4.8–16.8 gm/m2

8.4 gm/m2
 

Ifosfamide

9 gm/m2 a
   
63 gm/m2

48–51 gm/m2

Etoposide

1 gm/m2 a

1.5 gm/m2

0–2.5 gm/m2

3.5 gm/m2

1.5 gm/m2


aCOG Very High Risk Protocol only [6]. Treatment protocols continue to evolve, hence, the above table serves only as a guideline



Table 4.3
Isotoxic dose conversion of anthracyclines based on current Children’s Oncology Guidelines

























Anthracycline

Conversion

Doxorubicin

Multiply by 1

Daunorubicin

Multiply by 0.833

Epirubicin

Multiply by 0.67

Mitoxantrone

Multiply by 4

Idarubicin

Multiply by 5


This table is a guide to determine the total anthracycline dose received based on equivalent dosing with doxorubicin. For example, if a survivor received 48 mg/m2 of Mitoxantrone, multiply this by 4, to give a total anthracycline dose of 192 mg/m2
