BSA Calculation Resources Formula Name Formula Calculation Tool
Chemotherapy is usually dosed by square meter of body surface area (BSA). BSA has been chosen rather than body weight as the basis for calculation for two reasons. First, BSA has been demonstrated to provide a more accurate comparison of activity and toxicity for certain drugs. Second, BSA can be more closely correlated with cardiac output, which determines the blood flow to the liver and kidneys, thus influencing drug elimination.
