Preclinical evaluation of a new liposomal formulation of cisplatin, lipoplatin, to treat cisplatin-resistant cervical cancer

OBJECTIVE: Cisplatin-based chemotherapy has been shown to improve survival in cervical cancer; however, treatment is associated with tumor resistance and significant toxicity. Lipoplatin is a new liposomal formulation of cisplatin, developed to reduce cisplatin toxicity, to improve drug accumulation at tumor sites and to overcome drug resistance. The aim of this study is to analyze the antitumoral activity of lipoplatin against …
