Abstract
Drug development for cancer chemotherapy has an interesting history. A mix of serendipity, animal, cell line, and standard pharmacological principles of dose, dose-response, dose-concentration, dose intensity and combination therapies have been used to develop optimal dosing schedules. However in practice, significant gaps in the translation of preclinical to clinical dosing schedules persist, and clinical development has instead moved to new drug development. A older chemotherapies are still the backbone of most solid tumour schedules, therapeutic drug monitoring has emerged as a method for optimising the dose for individual patients.
