A member asked:
Why etoposide administered before ifosfamide in chemotherapy ?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
NO SPECIFIC REASON: Here are 3 possible reasons: 1) Most clinical trials use this sequence, although it has been given after in other studies as well 2) Etoposide is a shorter infusion 1-2 hours, Ifosfamide typically hours to 24 hrs, requiring monitoring of urine 3) Giving etoposide 1st also allows opportunity to give IV hydration prior to ifosfamide

? Does it matter?: I do not believe that it matters how you give them. Either order is followed in my practice.
