Adverse Effects of Cisplatin - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This medical illustration shows the effects of cisplatin, a chemotherapy drug used to treat testicular cancer. The central image depicts the male reproductive anatomy, including the testis and epididymis, with a label indicating cancer in these regions. Cisplatin is shown targeting the cancer (blue arrow), and its systemic side effects are highlighted by green arrows pointing to different organs and systems. These include nausea/vomiting (stomach), kidney damage (kidneys), decreased hearing (inner ear structures such as the cochlea), and decreased sensation (hands and feet with peripheral nerve pathways illustrated). Each organ is depicted in detail, correlating with the specific adverse effects of the drug.
