More targeted, less toxic: The golden future of cancer treatment.
Pre-clinical studies have shown the molecules were up to 24 times more effective at killing cancer cells than the widely used anti-cancer drug
cisplatin
and were also better at inhibiting tumour growth. https://scienstack.com/more-targeted-less-toxic-the-golden-future-of-cancer-treatment/

Use of Rx drugs and botanical compounds to prevent chemo drug-resistance with Docetaxel.
Wang and colleagues reported that artesunate sensitized ovarian cancer cells to
cisplatin
through down regulation of RAD51, a protein that repairs DNA double strand breaks, inhibiting the clonogenic formation of those cancer cells [60].

Why CT scan not pet scan?
As you may know, I finished 4 rounds of
Cisplatin
Alimta three weeks ago, following on from a lobectomy in March. Tomorrow I have a CT scan and am wondering why they do that at this stage rather than a pet scan. Can anyone explain please? Best wishes to all and kind regards xxx

AC 225 PSMA
They have my husband scheduled to start cabizataxel/
cisplatin
in a week. He has extensive bone mets, bone marrow suppression due to mets and small nodules in lungs of metastatic spread. I’m terrified he will die from the chemo.

Chemo Starts Next Tuesday - Cisplatin and Vinorelbine
Saw the Consultant two weeks ago and introductory meeting today where all the gorey and not so gorey details were explained. I will be completing 4 21 day cycles of the above. All going well this should end at end of October. I know nobody is likely to suffer all the side effects but the specific

Cycle One Done - This has been the toughest week!
(I don't think our hospital do that when you are having pill version only on week 2 which is venorelbine - I get
Cisplatin
IV and vinorelbine week 1).

New Chemo Regime
It involves an intensive regime of
Cisplatin
and Etoposide, given on a weekly basis with strong anti nausea drugs. There are claims of high rates of success for patients whose first-line chemo has failed. I find it strange that this has not received more attention. Jenny

Last Cisplatin Alimta postponed
Good evening good people, just a quick question please. I was due my last round of chemo tomorrow and due to low white blood count in Friday's blood test it has been postponed til the following week all being well. If normally they administer every three weeks, does it mean it's less effective if they

Return to chemo
So, after only 4 months since the last chemo (
cisplatin
and gemcitabine) and on Avastin, i am back on chemo. It’s
cisplatin
and caelyx this time. Ca125 at 165, from 20 after finishing the chemo in January, and pet scan confirming bad news in the pelvic region.

Will Kidney function improve after gemzar/cisplatin
I hovered at creatinine of 1.1 to 1.3 during treatment but 4 weeks after treatment it is now 1.7 with egfr of 30. I am actually not very happy with my oncologist as he has not bothered to call me about the results. I saw them on the computer. Also,, went for a cystoscope at which time they did a urinalysis

Chemotherapy side effects
I'm due for my second perfusion of
Cisplatin
and Alimta (for stage IIa Non-small) this coming Monday. I suppose I will be able to discuss this with the nurses but it's hard to know who to talk to as everyone is in such a rush all the time.

NSCLC operated in March, starting chemotherapy on Monday
I'm about to start chemotherapy this Monday using
Cisplatin
and Alimta. I had a 5 cm adenocarcinoma removed from my lung during an upper right lobectomy this March and have recovered well physically. My tumour was discovered 31/01/2019. It is apparently stage 2a and has not spread detectably.

Good news - stage IIIb NSCLC Adeno
Since then I have had four rounds of chemo (
Cisplatin
, Pemetrexed) followed by radical radiotherapy to chest and neck. I then amazingly became eligible for surgery and had a right upper lobectomy in summer 2015.

2 down, 10 to go!
Just finished my second of twelve rounds of Avastin, Gemcitabine, and
Cisplatin
. So far, so good. Going every two weeks - 4 hours at a clip. Very lucky so far, hair is holding steady. This is excellent because it has just grown back after my last Taxotere/Carbo regiment a year ago.

Ascites and drain
I am due to start Immunotherapy in 2-3 weeks as I feel I have exhausted most other options with Carboplatin/ Taxol
cisplatin
, avastin and now olaparib too. Has anyone had a successful drain without going straight onto chemotherapy I am fearful it will build up again fast while I am waiting.
