A phase II study of carboplatin in children with recurrent or progressive solid tumors. A report from the childrens cancer group

Abstract

Carboplatin has some activity against Wilms' tumor, Ewing's sarcoma, neuroblastoma, soft tissue sarcoma, and endodermal sinus tumor of the testis. Activity was not demonstrated against osteosarcoma, malignant lymphoma, hepatoma, and miscellaneous other tumors. Myelosuppression was seen commonly, and nonhematologic toxicity was infrequent.
