Mechanism of action

The TP regimen combines two cytotoxic agents: docetaxel, a taxane that stabilizes microtubules and prevents cell division, and cisplatin, a platinum-based alkylating agent that cross-links DNA and induces apoptosis. This combination targets rapidly dividing cancer cells through complementary mechanisms, enhancing overall cytotoxic effect compared to single-agent therapy.
