title: [Side effects of dissolved and lyophilized cisplatin in the treatment of 133 head and neck tumors].
abstract: The authors have studied the side effects of a lyophilized and a dissolved cisplatin preparation in 133 patients with head and neck tumors. After intraarterial treatment (30 mg/24 hours) with dissolved cisplatin no nausea was observed, while treatment with lyophilized cisplatin was followed by nausea in rare cases (33%). Systemic treatment with dissolved cisplatin (50 mg/die) was associated with vomiting far less frequently (37%) than lyophilized cisplatin (90%). Metoclopramide was found to reduce these side effects.
