The dosage of many drugs, particularly anti-cancer drugs, is established according to the body area of the patients. In my opinion, this type of prescription is not justified and should be abandoned.
Here is a letter to the BMJ I wrote about prescription according to body surface. Please, see "Prescribing according to body volume instead of body surface".
