BSA = body surface area, ECOG = Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, Hb = hemoglobin; NDLS = nanosomal docetaxel lipid suspension, PSA = prostate specific antigen. Baseline BSA was not available for one patient who received 2-weekly NDLS. Other comorbidities include tuberculosis, heart disease, asthma, and abdominal hernia.
