If cisplatin is the chemotherapy drug, what is transplatin used for?

Transplatin is the trans isomer of cisplatin and enhances its use as a chemotherapy drug. On its own, transplatin does not do much to address cancer compared to cisplatin because it requires a much higher dosage than cisplatin does to inhibit gene expression in cancer cells.
