• It is an alkylating agent that works by destroying genetic material like DNA or RNA of the cancer cells to prevents the replication of rapidly growing cancer cells.
• Cisplatin causes the DNA strands to cross-link, that stops the cells from dividing and ultimately leads to their death. As it can cause some adverse impact on the body because it affects both healthy & cancerous cells.​​
