Bleomycin Cumulative Units Limit

Track cumulative bleomycin exposure against the 400-unit lifetime pulmonary toxicity threshold. Risk of bleomycin-induced pneumonitis rises substantially above 400 units total. Age > 70 and renal impairment lower the safe threshold.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.
