Cisplatin

How it works

Damages the DNA of cancer cells, preventing them from reproducing. It also triggers an immune response against cancer cells.

Cancer types

Ovarian CancerAll patients

Efficacy

Cisplatin has been shown to improve survival in ovarian cancer patients, with a median overall survival of approximately 30 months.

Side effects

Severe

This treatment carries a higher risk of serious side effects. Close medical monitoring is required throughout treatment.
