There are major differences in drug distribution between tumorous and non-tumorous areas of PM specimens. Serum Pt levels significantly correlate with full section- and tumorous areas average Pt levels, elapsed time from the last CHT cycle, and OS. Further studies investigating clinicopathological factors that modulate tissue Pt concentration and distribution are warranted.
