Introduction: Cisplatin is a widely used antineoplastic in the treatment of various types of solid cancers. The objectives of our study were to evaluate the prevalence of acute renal failure (ARF) during cisplatin-based chemotherapy and to determine the factors correlated with renal toxicity.
Methods: This is a prospective study that was conducted over a period of 6 months. We included patients followed for histologically confirmed solid cancer and treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Assessment of renal function was made by calculating renal creatinine clearance before starting cisplatin, before every cycle, at 3 months and at 6 months.
Results: Forty patients were included. The median age was 54 years (31-71 years). The mean cumulative dose received was 286 mg/m² (100-560 mg/m²). Twelve patients (30%) developed ARF which was grade 1 in 83% of cases. Cisplatin ARF was observed after a mean cumulative dose of 208 mg/m². Digestive toxicity (67%) and obstruction of the excretory tracts of tumoral origin (8%) were aggravating factors. Cisplatin cycle number >3 ( = 0.04) and dose ≥330 mg/m ( = 0.04) were the factors associated with cisplatin renal toxicity.
Conclusion: This study concluded that ARF is dose-dependent with the predominance of grade 1 toxicity. A cumulative dose exceeding 330 mg/m was correlated with an increased risk of occurrence of ARF.

Background/purpose: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common malignancy often associated with poor prognosis due to chemoresistance. In this study, we investigated whether arecoline, a major alkaloid in betel nuts, can stimulate aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B10 (AKR1B10) levels in OSCC, promoting cancer stemness and leading to resistance to cisplatin (CDDP)-based chemotherapy.
Materials And Methods: Gain- and Loss- of AKR1B10 functions were analyzed using WB and q-PCR of OSCC cells.

As one of the most commonly used chemotherapeutic agents in clinical practice, cisplatin is unable to selectively accumulate in tumor tissue due to its lack of targeting ability, leading to increased systemic toxicities. Additionally, the effectiveness of monotherapy is greatly limited. Therefore, the development of new cisplatin-based drug delivery systems is essential to improve the effectiveness of tumor treatment.

Purpose: We aimed to elucidate the efficacy of conventional cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with lung cancers harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 110 patients (EGFR mutation group: n = 51; EGFR wild-type group: n = 59) receiving cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy following complete resection of non-small-cell non-squamous-cell lung cancer (2010-2021). Clinicopathological characteristics, recurrence-free survival (RFS), and overall survival (OS) were investigated.

Purpose: Synchronous esophageal (EC) and rectal carcinoma (RC) is a rare and challenging condition, particularly in curative-intended treatment. Especially locally advanced tumors may not be suitable for primary resection and require individual multimodal treatment. This review examines curative-intended management of synchronous EC and RC.

: Salvage treatment options have not been validated in relapsed or refractory germ cell tumors. Moreover, the study populations including these patients have different heterogeneities. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three cycles of TIP sequential high-dose chemotherapy in patients with testicular non-seminomatous germ cell tumors who relapsed or had a refractory course after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.
