Cisplatin has a pivotal role in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, it is associated with a number of serious and unpleasant side effects (nausea-vomiting, myelo-suppression, neuro-toxicity and renal function impairment). To overcome these limitations, most clinicians have turned towards the use of the cisplatin analog carboplatin, which is associated with a lower incidence of toxicity. Although carboplatin and cisplatin have a similar mechanism of action and pre-clinical spectrum of activity, it is still unclear whether they actually have the same clinical efficacy in all types of tumors. While for some tumors, such as ovarian cancer, equivalent efficacy has been convincingly proven, for others, such as germ cell and headneck tumors, there is some evidence that carboplatin is inferior to cisplatin. It has never been convincingly proven that carboplatin and cisplatin have the same efficacy in the treatment of NSCLC. This review provides an update of available evidences about this important scientific question.

Immune-checkpoint-inhibitors (ICPIs) represent a novel class of immunotherapy against several malignancies. These agents are associated with several “immune-mediated” adverse effects, but the reported renal toxicity of ICPIs is less well defined. We present the case of a 60-year-old man with a history of non-small cell lung cancer, who developed acute kidney injury (AKI) approximately 3.5 months after initiation of immunotherapy with nivolumab. Urinalysis revealed sterile pyuria, without microscopic hematuria or proteinuria. Immunological examination was negative. A renal biopsy showed severe interstitial inflammatory infiltration of T-cells, monocytes, and eosinophils without interstitial granulomas and normal appearance of glomeruli, indicating acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) as the cause of AKI. After a short-term course of corticosteroids and permanent nivolumab discontinuation, partial recovery of renal function was noted. AIN is a rare adverse effect of ICPIs that mandates the close monitoring of renal function in patients under immunotherapy with these agents.

The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Lung Cancer Working Party conducted a randomized trial comparing cisplatin (CDDP; 120 mg/m2, day 1) and carboplatin (CBDCA; 325 mg/m2, day 1) in combination with etoposide (VP16; 100 mg/m2, days 1, 2, and 3) in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Two hundred twenty-eight patients were eligible for survival and 202 assessable for response. We obtained 27 of 100 objective responses (ORs; 27%) in the CDDP arm and 16 of 102 (16%) in the CBDCA arm (P = .07). There was no significant difference in survival. Toxicity, consisting mainly of myelosuppression and renal function impairment, was significantly increased in the patients receiving the CDDP treatment. We conclude that CDDP plus VP16 was more active but also more toxic than CBDCA plus VP16 in advanced NSCLC.
