Carboplatin

Carboplatin is a chemotherapy medication used to treat various types of cancer, including ovarian, lung, and bladder cancers. It works by damaging the DNA of cancer cells, which prevents them from growing and dividing. Carboplatin is usually administered through an IV in a hospital or clinic setting. While it can be effective in killing cancer cells, it may also affect healthy cells, leading to side effects like nausea, fatigue, and an increased risk of infections. Doctors monitor patients closely to manage these effects while aiming to reduce cancer progression.
