Accurate estimation of kidney function is essential for patient selection and drug dosing in patients with cancer. eGFR equations are necessary for decision making and monitoring. Our aim was to identify which of these equations-estimated creatinine clearance (eCrCl) by Cockcroft-Gault (CG), eGFR by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (eGFR MDRD ), CKD Epidemiology Collaboration (eGFR CKD-EPI ) or the recently proposed Janowitz-Williams equation (eGFR J-W )-would be most suitable for GFR estimation among patients with cancer receiving cisplatin.
