One of the first chemotherapy drugs given to patients diagnosed with cancer — especially lung, ovarian, or breast cancer — is cisplatin, a platinum-containing compound that binds to tumor cells' DNA. Cisplatin does a good job of killing those tumor cells, but it can also seriously damage the kidneys, which receive high doses of cisplatin because they filter the blood.
