    1.2 mg IN 12 cc of chemotherapy
    Subject: 1.2 mg IN 12 cc of chemotherapy

    You heard it right. It is "1.2 mg IN 12 cc of chemotherapy."

    It basically means the patient received 1.2 mg of a particular chemotherapeutic agent (which would be "specific" to her malignancy and which would be documented in her medical record/chart), mixed in 12 ml of a solvent which could be normal saline/dextrose water/or others, so that that particular chemotherapeutic agent that she is on, can be administered to her in the form of an injection.

    chemotherapy drug - tesplatin??
    Subject: chemotherapy drug - tesplatin??

    The doc first states in history that "The patient was admitted at this time to start his chemotherapy regimen with BEP.


     


    Then he states, "The patient was started on cycle #1 of bleomycin, etoposide and TESPLATIN?


     


    So may be I am hearing BEP wrong and should be BET? because I am hearing TESPLATIN?


     


    The patient has testicular cancer if that helps.
