General information

Class/mechanism: Alkylating agent; transformed primarily in the liver to active metabolites which alkylate and crosslink DNA.[1][2]
Route: IV, PO
Extravasation: no information, n/a

For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the package insert[1].

Patient drug information

Regimens

Standard format will be:
<acronym (if any)> <generic drug1, generic drug2, generic drug3, etc.> (disease)
