[Chemotherapy of the small cell lung cancer using polyplatillen]
Abstract:
The experience of application of a new antitumoral platinum--containing preparation--polyplatyllen--in the treatment of the small cell pulmonary cancer was summarized. It was established, that the security profile of polyplatyllen is more favourable and efficacy in the treatment of the extended small cell pulmonary cancer is higher, than those of the standard scheme of treatment using cisplatinum and etoposide. The quality of life of the patients, while application of polyplatyllen, is more stable, than in application of the combined prescription of cisplatinum and etoposide.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
