Carboplatin and Mean cell volume increased - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Mean cell volume increased is reported as a side effect among people who take Carboplatin (carboplatin), especially for people who are female, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for 1 - 6 months also take Avastin, and have Ovarian cancer.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Mean cell volume increased when taking Carboplatin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 127,949 people who have side effects when taking Carboplatin from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
