Cisplatin is used in combination with other agents to enhance therapeutic efficacy and limit resistance. Drugs with different mechanisms of action target cancer cells at multiple points, reducing the likelihood of survival and adaptation. Combination regimens can also permit dose optimization to mitigate toxicity. Additionally, they help counter resistance mechanisms such as increased DNA repair, decreased drug uptake, and enhanced efflux.
