Abstract

Intensive doses of carboplatin, cyclophosphamide, and BCNU with autologous bone marrow support were given to four patients with advanced melanoma. Three developed clinically diagnosed, severe veno-occlusive liver disease, which was fatal in two cases. The dose of carboplatin (450 mg/m2) was comparable with that used in ambulatory regimens. At the doses and schedule employed, this three-drug combination produced excessive hepatic toxicity. Caution is suggested when giving carboplatin in combination with intensive doses of other chemotherapeutic agents with known hepatotoxic potential.
