Dacarbazine Dosage

Your oncologist will calculate your dose based on your body surface area (BSA; in units of m²), which takes into account your height and weight.

The dose will also vary depending on what type of cancer you have and which other medications you’re taking with Dacarbazine.

• Hodgkin’s lymphoma: The most common dose is 375 mg/m² injected into the vein (IV) every 2 weeks.
• Metastatic melanoma: The recommended dose is 250 mg/m² given IV once per day for 5 days (can be repeated every 3 weeks). Another dosing option is 2 mg/kg to 4.5 mg/kg of body weight per day given IV for 10 days (can be repeated every 4 weeks).
