Abstract
In view of the activity of Cisplatin in bladder cancer a multicentre study of its less toxic analogue Carboplatin was carried out in 48 patients with metastatic transitional cell carcinoma, of whom 30 had received no previous cytotoxic chemotherapy. No complete remissions and only 3 partial responses were observed, suggesting that Carboplatin has only minimal activity in this disease.
