Cisplatin/carboplatin cross-resistance in ovarian cancer. 1989

Gynaecology Unit, Royal Marsden Hospital, London, UK.

Forty-six patients who were treated with cisplatin or carboplatin for ovarian cancer developed resistant disease (no change in measurable disease or progressive disease) and 'crossed over' to the other platinum compound. Three patients (6.5%) responded to this second treatment but these patients had no survival advantage compared to the non-responders. One responder had progressive disease on cisplatin before crossing over to carboplatin.

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.

D004351 Drug Resistance Diminished or failed response of an organism, disease or tissue to the intended effectiveness of a chemical or drug.
