High dose chemotherapy for acute hematological malignancies is usually prescribed with curative intent. However, treatment-related toxicities such as infection, prolonged myelosuppression, neurotoxicity, renal impairment, gastrointestinal toxicity and cardiovascular complications cause significant morbidity and in some instances mortality. Balancing efficacy and toxicity is a constant challenge. Between 1980–2013, the worldwide prevalence of overweight or obese adults rose by 28% [1]. Body mass index (BMI), defined as weight in kilograms divided by square of height in meters, is used to define overweight as a BMI 25 kg/m and obese as a BMI 30 kg/m [2]. Weight-based chemotherapy doses have been commonly reduced in overweight and obese hematology and oncology patients [3]. This is due to concerns regarding altered chemotherapy pharmacokinetics and an excess of toxicity in this population. Whilst there are numerous publications reviewing treatment outcomes in patients of increased weight, most do not capture information regarding weightbased dose modifications. Consequently, results cannot be adequately interpreted to guide future patient dosing. This systematic review of the literature was performed to collate treatment-related toxicities and outcomes in overweight and obese adult patients compared to normal weight patients with acute leukemia or aggressive lymphoma. The aim was to determine the appropriateness of dosing chemotherapy according to actual body weight (ABW) in this population. Dosing of novel targeted therapies was not addressed in this review. A literature search of four databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) was conducted for English language articles published between 1995 and the end of 2014. The PubMed search terms were (obes* AND acute myel* leukemia) OR (overweight AND acute myel* leukemia) OR (obes* AND acute lymph* leukemia) OR (overweight AND acute lymph* leukemia) OR (obes* AND lymphoma) OR (overweight AND lymphoma). The EMBASE search used combinations of the Emtree terms ‘‘obesity’’, ‘‘lymphoma’’, ‘‘acute lymphoblastic leukemia’’ and ‘‘acute granulocytic leukemia’’, the latter being the database’s search term for acute myeloid leukemia. For the Web of Science and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials searches we used the same search terms and combinations as for the PubMed search. Two authors (SM, GS) independently screened titles, collated potentially relevant articles and then read them in full in order to determine their eligibility for this review. Discrepancies were resolved by consensus. Published articles were only included in this review if treatment outcomes were detailed (including toxicities, disease response and/or survival), currently accepted chemotherapy regimens were used and a comment was made that doses were weight-based with no, or specified, modification of doses in a minority of patients of increased weight (except vincristine). Studies in stem cell transplantation were excluded because doses in conditioning chemotherapy regimens are often intentionally myeloablative and treatment-related toxicities could be confounded by total body irradiation, immunosuppression and stem cell dose. Furthermore, a comprehensive literature review in this population had been published recently [4]. Pediatric (defined as below 16 years of age) studies, literature reviews, small case series and case reports, abstracts and editorials were similarly excluded. A total of 861 acute leukemia studies and 1098 lymphoma studies were identified using this search strategy [Fig. 1]. Upon screening titles and evaluating the articles for potential relevance, only five articles for acute myeloid leukemia and four for lymphoma fulfilled
