CPT-11 blocks certain enzymes needed for cell division and DNA repair, and it may kill cancer cells. It is a type of topoisomerase inhibitor and a type of camptothecin analog.
Platinum compounds produce changes in DNA structure, which causes cancer cell death (apoptosis). They are typically used alone or in combination with other chemotherapy drugs.
