The proposed flowchart can support optimizing the treatment with orally administered anticancer drugs in patients who underwent bariatric surgery. We recommend performing TDM in drugs that belong to BCS classes II, III, or IV. If more risk factors are present in BCS classes II or IV, a priori switches to other drugs may be advised. In specific cases, higher dosages can be provided from the start (e.g., tamoxifen).
