In oncology, carboplatin is a antineoplastic agent that is an "organoplatinum compound that possesses antineoplastic activity."[1]
As compared to cisplatin, carboplatin has equal (lung cancer, ovarian cancer) or less (germ cell tumors, bladder cancer, head and neck cancer) efficacy but less drug toxicity.[2]
