Abstract
It is now 20 years since the publication of the anti-tumour activity of platinum compounds by Barnett Rosenberg and his colleagues. During this time platinum-based drugs have made a major contribution to cancer therapy with significant benefits for many patients. This article summarises the history of platinum agents in this field and indicates the current and possible future directions of research.
