Dose adjustments

Start cycle 1 as described above.
Obtain CBCs twice per week for nadir measurements.
If nadir ANC >500, increase etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide by one level (20%) compared to previous cycle.
If nadir ANC <500, use same doses as last cycle.
If nadir platelet count <25,000, decrease etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide by 20% compared to the previous cycle.
