description Oxaliplatin is a platinum commonly used in the treatment of metastatic colon cancer. It can cause thrombocytopenia through different mechanism. Sudden isolated drop in platelets should raise the concern for oxaliplatin immune‐induced thrombocytopenia and abrupt discontinuation of the drug. Patients should not be rechallenged with oxaliplatin once diagnosis of OIIT is confirmed.
