What are some side effects of cisplatin?

Common side effects of cisplatin include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and loss of appetite. It can also damage rapidly dividing cells, leading to suppressed immune function and anemia. More specific toxicities associated with cisplatin include kidney damage (nephrotoxicity), hearing loss (ototoxicity), and nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy). The severity of these effects varies depending on dosage and individual response, and they are often managed with supportive treatments during therapy.
