Major Drug-Drug Interaction cisplatin and thiotepa (Major Drug-Drug)

GENERALLY AVOID: Thiotepa may intensify the toxicity of other alkylating agents (or radiation) rather than enhance therapeutic response.

MANAGEMENT: It is not advisable to combine chemotherapeutic agents (or modalities) that have the same mechanism of action.
