Abstract

Ten patients had serial evaluations of plasma prostaglandin E₂, prostaglandin _2α, and 6-keto-PG_1α during administration of cis-platinum chemotherapy. No significant changes were noted in PGF_2α and 6-keto-PGF_1α whereas PGE₂ showed a decrease. This would indicate that the nausea and vomiting of platinum therapy is not a result of tumor release of prostaglandins. All patients had known residual cancer and all had elevated levels of PGE₂ and 6-keto-PGF_1α.
