    Alternating Temozolomide Doses: Does Daily Consistency Matter?

    Best quote from Alternating Temozolomide Doses: Does Daily Consistency Matter?

    “

    The biology of the tumor and the extent of the initial surgery are much bigger predictors of how someone will do than whether they took 290 or 310 milligrams on a Tuesday. It turns out that the body is a bit more resilient to these minor fluctuations than we give it credit for.

    ”

    Input question

    I have one patient in temozolamide. He is taking it 300mg daily for 5 days. Sometimes the 100mg is not available and the 250mg is available so the physican is ordering alternating dose of 250 and 350 daily for 5 days. Does it really matter the daily as long as patient is taking it for the full course over 5 days?
