title: Cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum(II) in metastatic soft tissue sarcomas.
abstract: cis-Dichlorodiammineplatinum(II) was given to 13 patients with metastatic sarcomas following failure in two previous chemotherapy protocols. Two of these patients had complete regression which lasted 6 months in one patient and is still present after 8 months in the other. One patient had a greater than 50% regression which lasted 5 months. Three patients had disease stabilization for 2 months each. cis-Dichlorodiammineplatinum(II), as a single agent, was well-tolerated with no significant renal or auditory toxicity.
