Abstract. The anti-tumor effects and tissue distribution of carboplatin (CBDCA) incorporated into hydroxyapatite (HAP) particles was studied. Materials and Methods: Seven days after the intraperitoneal (i.p.) implantation of AH130 tumor cells into Donryu rats, the animals were randomized into four groups: group I was treated with saline i.p.; Group II, with CBDCA i.v.; group III with CBDCA i.p.; and group IV with HAP-CBDCA i.p. Results: The survival rate of group IV was better than that of the other groups (p
