Cisplatin is used to treat a variety of cancers, particularly those that are solid tumors. It is most notably effective against testicular cancer, where it has played a major role in achieving high cure rates. It is also commonly used to treat ovarian, bladder, lung (especially non-small cell lung cancer), and head and neck cancers. In addition, cisplatin may be used for cervical, esophageal, and stomach cancers, often as part of combination chemotherapy regimens.
