mitomycin : A family of aziridine-containing natural products isolated from Streptomyces caespitosus or Streptomyces lavendulae.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"From January 1991 to December 2006, 18 patients with invasive carcinoma of the male urethra referred to our institution were treated with a chemoradiation therapy protocol, consisting of 2 cycles of 5-fluorouracil (1,000 mg/m(2)) on days 1 to 4 and days 29 to 32, and mitomycin-C (10 mg/m(2)) on days 1 and 29 with concurrent external beam radiation therapy (45 to 55 Gy in 25 fractions during 5 weeks) to the genitalia, perineum, and inguinal and external iliac lymph nodes."3.74Coordinated chemoradiation therapy with genital preservation for the treatment of primary invasive carcinoma of the male urethra. ( Billmeyer, B; Cohen, MS; Girshovich, L; Hanley, RS; Oberfield, RA; Shuster, T; Triaca, V; Zinman, L, 2008)

"Mitomycin C has proved to be useful as prophylaxis against superficial bladder tumor recurrences."1.27Prostatic recurrences in the management of superficial bladder tumors. ( Bondhus, MJ; Chaikin, L; Lockhart, JL; Politano, VA, 1983)
"In case 1, a 73-year-old female with squamous cell carcinoma was successfully treated with irradiation of 4,000 rad and peplomycin of 60 mg intravenously given."1.27[Female urethral carcinoma: results of irradiation in 2 patients].
