Bibliographical note
Funding Information:Although there was a range of opinions regarding the starting dose of chemotherapy in patients of East Asian ethnicity, 60% of panellists recommended starting chemotherapy at a reduced dose. This strategy is supported by the experience of physicians from the Asia-Pacific region and by limited studies. Although no large prospective clinical trials have compared dosing strategies (eg, a reduced dose vs a full dose with G-CSF support) in this population, the available literature suggests that antitumour activity is comparable, even if a reduced dose is used [174,175] .
