Abstract excerpt
Cisplatin (CDDP) and its analogues are widely used for the treatment of a variety of human solid tumors. However, the molecular mechanism of its action remains to be understood.

In this study we demonstrated that CDDP-inhibited VEGF expression in human ovarian cancer cells. We found that CDDP...
