“…It unleashes its anticancer action through formation of cisplatinâDNA adduct by intrastrand crossâlinks due to interaction with cancer cell DNA purine bases eventually leading to p53 activation, cell cycle arrest and induction of apoptosis (Calcabrini, Maffei, Turrini, & Fimognari, 2020; Dasari & Bernard Tchounwou, 2014). Despite its potent antineoplastic efficacy, the constraint to its clinical utility is the development of organ toxicity, including nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, myelosuppression, cardiotoxicity, pancreatic and testicular damage (Bami et al., 2017; Bilgic et al., 2018; ElâHawwary & Omar, 2019; StoĆĄiÄ et al., 2020). In the emerging papers, CISâinduced damage to testes and hormonal imbalance has been suggested a chief side effect because it has been clinically associated with infertility (Altuner, Gulaboglu, Yapca, & Cetin, 2013; Mercantepe, Unal, TĂŒmkaya, & Yazici, 2018; Sabanegh & Ragheb, 2009).…”
