Cis-platinum vestibular toxicity. 1981

S D Schaefer, and C G Wright, and J D Post, and E P Frenkel

Cis-diamminedichloroplatinum has been proven to be an effective neoplastic agent. Nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity are two prominent side effects of this drug. Investigation of ototoxicity has been limited to auditory function. This report details the first known case of vestibular toxicity following platinum therapy. In addition, a prospective vestibular testing program is reported.

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.
