Paclitaxel is used to treat ovarian cancer by infusion at a concentration of 0.6 mg/mL over 24 hours. A dose of 135 mg/m² has been prescribed for Sero. Sero is 1.06 m tall and weighs 92 kg. Paclitaxel comes in vials of 150 mg/25 mL. Calculate the volume of 5%w/v glucose solution that would be required to dilute the concentrated solution to prepare an paclitaxel solution of the required strength.
