title: [First therapeutic experience with cis-platinum(II)diamindichloride (NSC 119875) in metastasizing ovarian and testicular carcinoma].
abstract: Ten patients with metastatic testicular or ovarian carcinoma were treated with cis-platinum II diaminedichloride. All had received prior chemotherapy with other agents. A therapeutic effect was seen in 7 cases, though it was of short duration in all instances. The drug proved to be very nephrotoxic and caused marked bone marrow depression. The future of this highly effective cytostatic agent, either with different dosage schedules or in combination with other drugs, is discussed. The possibility of new platinum derivatives with a better therapeutic index is also mentioned.
