Platinum based therapy is one of the most effectively used chemotherapeutic treatments for cancer. The mechanism of action of platinum compounds is to damage DNA and drive cells into apoptosis. The most commonly used platinum containing agents are cis-diammine-dichloroplatinum (II)]

While cisplatin is considered superior to carboplatin for the treatment of malignant germ cell tumors (MGCTs) in adults, pediatric oncology collaborative groups still remain concerned about the late effects of cisplatin in children. We performed a literature search to identify
To gain insight into the exact location of residual esophageal cancer in the esophageal wall and regional lymph nodes after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) and to determine the pattern of regression. Data from the recently published chemoradiotherapy for oesophageal cancer followed
DNA damage and repair mechanism is vital for maintaining DNA integrity. Damage to cellular DNA is involved in mutagenesis, the development of cancer among others.
