What is Carboplatin?
Active Ingredients: Carboplatin
Carboplatin Injection is an antineoplastic drug used in cancer chemotherapy. It is indicated as a first-line treatment for ovarian cancer. Carboplatin is also used to treat other types of cancer, like small cell lung carcinoma and neuroblastoma, and for the preparation of bone marrow or stem cell transplants.
