Cisplatin chemotherapy drug. This drug is used to treat a number of cancers,including sarcomas,lymphomas and ovarian cancer. It slows the growth of the cancer by damaging the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in the cancerous cells. It causes cross-linking between DNA strands,which prevents the cells from dividing. The cells try to repair this damage,but are unable to do so and so initiate apoptosis (programmed cell death) | |
