    GlossaryCisplatin

    chemotherapy drug that damages cancer cell DNA

    Cisplatin, also known as CDDP, is a chemotherapy drug used to treat various types of cancer, including testicular, ovarian, bladder, and lung cancers. It works by binding to DNA in cancer cells, causing damage that prevents the cells from dividing and growing, ultimately leading to cell death. This drug is effective but can have significant side effects, including nephrotoxicity (kidney damage) and ototoxicity (hearing loss).
