    Snippet: Oxaliplatin (OXA) is a third-generation platinum anticancer drug that is mainly used for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). Of note, hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) induced by OXA has become a key concern for patients with CRC receiving chemotherapy with OXA in recent years. Splenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, abnormal liver function, and portal hypertension are some of the main clinical characteristics seen in patients with OXA-induced HSOS. Previous studies have su
    Document: Oxaliplatin (OXA) is a third-generation platinum anticancer drug that is mainly used for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). Of note, hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) induced by OXA has become a key concern for patients with CRC receiving chemotherapy with OXA in recent years. Splenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, abnormal liver function, and portal hypertension are some of the main clinical characteristics seen in patients with OXA-induced HSOS. Previous studies have suggested that oxidative stress, inflammatory damage, liver fibrosis, and platelet aggregation and adhesion may be involved in the pathogenesis of OXA induced HSOS. Currently, there are no specific drugs for prevention and treatment of OXA-induced HSOS. In this review, we summarized the epidemiology, pathological characteristics, clinical predictive indicators, related mechanisms, possible prevention and treatment of OXA-related HSOS.
