Cisplatin is a chemotherapy medication commonly used to treat stomach cancer. The symptoms of fullness in the stomach, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal bloating are common in stomach cancer, and cisplatin can help to reduce the tumor size and control the spread of the cancer. Ticlopidine, cyclosporine, and tacrolimus are not commonly used in the treatment of stomach cancer.
