Not sure where you got your Cisplatin statistics but IMO 10% sounds more like the percentage of people that it DOESN'T cause problems with.
There are 2 practiced delivery methods for Cis; 1. I call it the Big 3 Bag Method in which larger does (bags) are given 3 times during rad; one before the first rad; one appx 15 days into the rad Tx and the last on the last day of rad before that rad and 2. smaller doses (bags) given once a week during Rad. The patients that seem to fair better, adverse side effects wise, receive the weekly method. The weekly method also does not seem to have a negative impact on the overall Tx success rate but I know there has not been any study concluding that. My observations come from this site only.
