Early provocative data is demonstrating that platinum compounds (e.g. cisplatin and carboplatin) particularly in combination with other agents have an important role to play in the treatment of breast cancer. These agents may soon be used routinely in the adjuvant setting for this condition according to researchers speaking at the Second Annual "Future of Breast Cancer: An International Breast Cancer Congress."

Hi, just finished Herceptin/Taxol/Carboplatin 26 weekly doses and all tests have come back with no evidence of disease, Herceptin/Carboplatin on its own stalled the growth but when Taxol was added over the next 26 weeks it knocked out the lump, I have been having continual treatment since 1998, not even the radiation with the carboplatin could get rid of it all but it did take the pressure of a nerve in my neck which was giving severe pain when I turned my head and I was loosing the use of my good arm as well but did its job straight away there.
