Treatment Summary
Cisplatin is a chemotherapy drug used to treat different types of cancers, such as sarcomas, some carcinomas, lymphomas, and germ cell tumors. It was the first in its class of platinum-based cancer drugs, which now includes carboplatin and oxaliplatin. Cisplatin is used to treat small cell lung cancer and ovarian cancer, among other forms of cancer.

How Cisplatin Affects Patients
Cisplatin is a medication used to treat cancer. It works by adding molecules to DNA strands that make it impossible for the strands to separate and replicate, preventing the cells from dividing. It also disrupts the correct utilization of molecules by base pairing, leading to the incorrect coding of DNA. Cisplatin affects cells in all stages of the cell cycle and works by three different mechanisms to cause cell death.
How Cisplatin works in the body
Alkylating agents work to disrupt the normal functioning of cells by targeting DNA. They do this in three ways: 1) attaching alkyl groups to DNA bases, which stops enzymes from being able to fix the DNA, 2) creating bonds between atoms in the DNA, making it impossible for DNA to be copied, and 3) causing the wrong molecules to be matched up, resulting in mutations.
When to interrupt dosage
The suggested measure of Cisplatin is contingent upon the recognized condition, such as Refractory to Standard Therapies, Advanced Ovarian Cancer and Neoplasm Metastasis. The quantity of dose fluctuates, in agreement with the delivery system (e.g. Injection, solution or Solution) outlined in the table beneath.

What are side effects of cisplatin?
"The following are symptoms of medical emergencies that require immediate medical attention: black, tarry stools; blood in urine or stools; burning, numbness, tingling, or painful sensations; change in frequency of urination or amount of urine; cough or hoarseness; difficulty in breathing; feeling of fullness in the ears; fever or chills."
Answered by AI
What cancer is cisplatin used for?
"A chemotherapy drug called cisplatin is most effective in treating testicular cancer. It can also be used to treat other types of cancer, including lung, bladder, cervical, and ovarian cancer. Cisplatin and other drugs that contain platinum were developed with support from the National Cancer Institute (NCI)."
Answered by AI
Is cisplatin a strong chemo drug?
"Currently, cisplatin is one of the most potent chemotherapeutic drugs used to treat ovarian cancer, even though resistance is typical [20]. In ovarian germ cell cancer, cisplatin use results in high response rates [21]."
Answered by AI
Why is cisplatin so toxic?
"Cisplatin leads to mitochondrial and non-mitochondrial cell death pathways by damaging DNA and causing the production of ROS. Additionally, cisplatin disrupts mitochondrial energetics, which may cause nephrotoxicity."
