BSA-Based Dose Calculator (mg/m²)
Surface-area dosing as oncology protocols specify it — Mosteller BSA times protocol dose.
Chemotherapy and some antivirals dose by surface area because it tracks metabolic and marrow mass better than weight. Protocol fine print matters enormously: which BSA formula, whether BSA is capped at 2.0–2.2 m², dose-banding tables, and cumulative lifetime limits (anthracyclines) — all specified per protocol and all double-signed in practice. This calculator illustrates the arithmetic only.
