cisplatin-based chemotherapy is the standard treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (nsclc). many novel drugs have been used in combination with cisplatin in this setting. of these drugs, gemcitabine is reported to have a high response rate and acceptable toxicity. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine and cisplatin combination. twentythree pati...

Background: Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic agent commonly used clinically for the treatment of various human cancers. Patients often reduce use cisplatin due to its side effects, which in turn affects treatment. This study explored mechanism action safflower extract as an adjuvant traditional Chinese medicine chemotherapy. Methods: Primary follicle dermal papilla cells (HFDPCs) w...

Today, drug resistance is one of the major problems in fight against cancer. Therefore, combination of therapeutic strategies was raised to effectively improve disease prognosis. In this regard, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are considered significant due to their anticancer properties. This study aimed to return sensitivity to cisplatin to A2780 cisplatin-resistance cell lines in the presence o...

Introduction: The principal dose-limiting factor in the use of cisplatin as an antineoplastic drug is its hepatic toxicity. This study was designed to investigate the protective role of taurine against cisplatin-induced hepatic injury. Methods: Male albino rats (180-220 g) were divided in to 4 groups (n=8) as follows: (1) saline-treated group (2): cisplatin-treated group (10 mg/kg ip) (3): g...

toxicity bioassays are important tools to determine biological effects of chemical agents on species. the questions remained on, what effects have been imposed on each of the different molecular site of cells by chemical exposure and how to find a pattern for chemical toxicity. to address the questions, hepg2 cell lines were exposed to the different concentrations of cisplatin for 24 hours to r...

introduction: cisplatin is used as a chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of human ovarian and testicular cancers. this study was designed to investigate the protective role of taurine against cisplatin-induced kidney injury. methods: male wistar rats were divided into 4 groups (n=8) (1) saline-treated group (2) cisplatin-treated group (10 mg/kg, i.p.), (3) group that received taurine (200 ...

cisplatin is a common chemotherapeutic agent that used for treatment of many solid cancers. rapid identification of chemotherapy resistance is very important and may lead to effective treatment plan. spectroscopy techniques, such as infrared spectroscopy, which are sensitive to biochemical composition of samples, have shown potentials to discriminate tissues. developing in fourier transform inf...

The research study was designed to compare the safety and efficacy of the regimen of 5-flurouracil with cisplatin of investigational arm with the reference regimen of gemcitabine with cisplatin for the treatment of gallbladder cancer. A total of 60 patients were enrolled in the study. Out of 30 patients enrolled in arm-A (Gemcitabine with Cisplatin) and 30 patients enrolled in arm-B (5-Fluroura...
