- FIGURE 19.1-5A. Comparison of effect of altered pharmacokinetics and
- pharmacodynamics on toxicity and tumor concentrations. Alteration of
- pharmacokinetics (B), compared with an average patient (A), results in
- enhanced toxicity due to an increased AUC, whereas altered
- pharmacodynamics (C) may result in enhanced toxicity at an average
- AUC. Dose reduction in the former case (B) results in an average tumor
- AUC; in the latter case (C), the tumor AUC may be subtherapeutic.
