This is a global issue for both Cisplatin and carboplatin .. @ChandrakanthMv needs to be highlighted … affecting so many pts @AyushmanNHA @CancerGridIndia @cspramesh @ASCO @DrSanjayPopat @myESMO … not an expensive drug so industry not bothered. @PMOIndia @JPNadda @ICMRDELHI @jrgralow @drkiwicj
• Platinum chemotherapy shortage in India is becoming a major oncology challenge
• Cisplatin & carboplatin are backbone drugs across many cancers
• The issue is not just “drug availability” → raw material crisis → pricing pressure → manufacturing economics → supply-chain disruption
• Real-world impact: → treatment delays → dose modifications → regimen changes → inventory pressure
• Quick visual summary of: ✓ What is happening
✓ Why it is happening
✓ Clinical implications
✓ Possible solutions
Would like to hear how different centres are managing this situation.

⌛️1y ago we learned of a major📈in the cure for early stage gastric cancer
📢Join us Tuesday, 05-12-26 at 8PM ET as @SunnieSKim & @aprilchoi_md 🗣️updates to the MATTERHORN trial & Tx for early stage #gastriccancer
RT and bring others into the discussion‼️
Interesting!

Cohort: 12.5m researchers
Experienced researchers are less likely to produce ‘disruptive’/'novel' science
Nostalgia effect: As careers progress, scientists are more likely to cite older papers than newer ones.
