What is the significance of cisplatin in both dd-MVAC and GC chemotherapy regimens?

Label:chem

Topic
Cisplatin is a key component in both dd-MVAC and GC regimens, contributing to their efficacy in treating muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Answer
Cisplatin is a platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent that plays a crucial role in both dd-MVAC and GC regimens by inducing DNA damage, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells. Its presence enhances the overall efficacy of the regimens in reducing tumor size and improving patient outcomes.
