Italian to English
Medical
Medical (general)
Chemotherapy regimen:
"Taxol 175 mg/mq g.1 q 22 gg (DT 332 mg)
What is g.1 q 22 exactly, and how do they arrive at the cumulative dosis ( I presume that DT stands for cumulative dosis) of 332 mg?
Thanks!

Selected
d1, q 21 days
g for giorno, gg for giorni
Administration on day one, to be repeated in 21-day cycles.
Mind that the Italians seem to put the day of the next administration (here, 22), whereas the duration of the cycle commonly appears in English reports.

: Hi Anne. In Spanish, also, they'll say for example "every 15 days" when it means every two weeks.

Ciao Joseph, isn't it great these funny little differences exist between languages – otherwise we might easily be replaced by machines with just a large-enough TM! :-))

: Surely you'd like to suggest something in English for the 'q' ?// Oh, I didn't know (until you just told me) that 'q' is also used in English, and I hadn't seen Joseph's post. Cheers :-)

Not necessarily, since the Latin q is also used in English (see Joseph's discussion entry). That said, there are certainly other common ways to specify a chemotherapy regimen in English medicalese – feel free to suggest one of these in a separate answer.
