Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone had any answers to the question above:

[quote=Jay Jeong]
Considering Carboplatin was approved by the FDA back in 1989, I would think it has been around long enough to be used ahead of Cisplatin in the treatment of H&N cancers if the studies show that there is no difference in the treatment outcome.

Does anyone else have any further insight as to why Carboplatin is not the preferred drug over Cisplatin in the instance it is used as adjunctive therapy to assist with Radiotherapy?

Have looked everywhere but no answer till date frown

Thanks in advance
Jay
