Platinum and its derivates are particularly efficient in treatment of ovarian and testis carcinomas. Nevertheless, the high nephrotoxicity of these drugs limits their use. It is known that nephrotoxicity appears when platinum plasmatic concentrations are higher than 1.5 mg/l. Moreover, the wide variability between patients and between cures, emphasizes the difficulties of utilization. Using a computerized pump and a program for individual dosage regimen, an efficient prevention of plasmatic overdosages have been realised and nephrotoxicity accidents have been avoided.
