Cisplatin is one of the effective chemotherapeutic agents widely used for many tumor types in children. The most serious complications of cisplatin overdose are nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. It may lead to life-threatening complications and even death. We report a 13-year-old female patient with osteosarcoma who received a massive cisplatin overdose mistakenly. She was given cisplatin 120 mg/m2/day for consecutive two days, instead of one day (total 240 mg/m2) due to a prescription error. After 12 hours, her cisplatin level was measured as 8,500 ng/ml (normal: 1,000-5,000 ng/ml). She was treated with repeated plasmapheresis combined with use of two chemoprotectants, (N-acetylcysteine and amifostine). On her follow up, renal functions and audiometric tests remained normal. According to our experience with our case, early urgent combined treatment is very important in the management of cisplatin overdose.

Background: Ovarian cancer is one of the most common gynecologic cancers with the highest mortality rate in China. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a postoperative complication associated with all-cause mortality. The incidence and risk factors for AKI after cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) have not been fully elucidated.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical validity of the S-1 dosage formula based on body surface area (BSA) and creatinine clearance (CLcr) to achieve the target area under the concentration-time curve of 5-FU, which we had developed and refined in each prospective pharmacokinetic study.
Methods: The recommended dose determined by the refined formula was assessed using data of the SPIRITS (S-1 vs. S-1 plus cisplatin [SP]) and the G-SOX (SP vs.

The Fe element is essential for human beings, but overdose of Fe leads to unwanted toxicity. However, overwhelming Fe accumulation in tumor cells could arouse strong oxidative stress for cancer therapy. Therefore, the fast and specific accumulation of Fe in tumor cells without systemic toxicity is critical for this purpose.

Background: Nlrp6 is a nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor (NLR) that forms atypical inflammasomes. Nlrp6 modulates the gut epithelium interaction with the microbiota. However, the expression and function of Nlrp6 in the kidney, a sterile environment, have not been characterized.
