Persistence of Cisplatin-Induced Mutagenicity in Hematopoietic Stem Cells: Implications for Secondary Cancer Risk Following Chemotherapy
6 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
Cisplatin is a cytostatic agent used in the treatment of many types of cancer, but its use is associated with increased incidences of secondary leukemia. We evaluated cisplatin's in vivo genotoxic potential by analyzing peripheral blood for Pig-a mutant phenotype erythrocytes and for chromosomal damage in the form of micronuclei.
