Italian term or phrase: g.1 q 22
Chemotherapy regimen:

"Taxol 175 mg/mq g.1 q 22 gg (DT 332 mg)

What is g.1 q 22 exactly, and how do they arrive at the cumulative dosis ( I presume that DT stands for cumulative dosis) of 332 mg?



Thanks!

d1, q 21 days
Explanation:
g for giorno, gg for giorni

Administration on day one, to be repeated in 21-day cycles.
Mind that the Italians seem to put the day of the next administration (here, 22), whereas the duration of the cycle commonly appears in English reports.

agree  Joseph Tein: Hi Anne. In Spanish, also, they'll say for example "every 15 days" when it means every two weeks.

  -> Ciao Joseph, isn't it great these funny little differences exist between languages – otherwise we might easily be replaced by machines with just a large-enough TM! :-))

agree  heidi (X): Surely you'd like to suggest something in English for the 'q' ?// Oh, I didn't know (until you just told me) that 'q' is also used in English, and I hadn't seen Joseph's post. Cheers :-)

  -> Not necessarily, since the Latin q is also used in English (see Joseph's discussion entry). That said, there are certainly other common ways to specify a chemotherapy regimen in English medicalese – feel free to suggest one of these in a separate answer.
