Here, we show from recent literature selected largely from the last two years that organometallics offer unique opportunities in medicine and, increasingly, a mechanistic-based approach is applied to their development, which has not always been the case.Bioorganometallic chemistryBioinorganic chemistryMetallodrugsChemotherapyRecent progress in the development of organometallics for the treatment of cancertext::journal::journal article::research article
