Uses of Mitomycin C

Mitomycin is used to treat adenocarcinoma of the stomach and pancreas. This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information. Mitomycin is a type of antibiotic that is only used in cancer chemotherapy. It slows or stops the growth of cancer cells in your body. The length of treatment depends on the types of drugs you are taking, how well your body responds to them, and the type of cancer you have.

Mitomycin is also used to treat adenocarcinoma of the colon and rectum; squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, lungs, and cervix; adenocarcinoma and duct cell carcinoma of the breast; and bladder cancer. Talk to your doctor about the possible risks of using this drug for your condition.

Side effects of Mitomycin C

Lowered resistance to infection Mitomycin can reduce the production of white blood cells by the bone marrow, making you more prone to infection. This effect can begin seven days after treatment has been given and usually reaches its lowest point 10–14 days after chemotherapy. Your blood cells will then increase steadily and will usually have returned to normal before your next course of chemotherapy is due.

Contact your doctor or the hospital straightaway if:

• If your temperature goes above 38°C (100.5°F)

• You suddenly feel unwell (even with a normal temperature)

You will have a blood test before having more chemotherapy, to make sure that your cells have recovered. Occasionally it may be necessary to delay your treatment if your blood count is still low.

Bruising or bleeding  Mitomycin can reduce the production of platelets (which help the blood to clot). Let your doctor know if you have any unexplained bruising or bleeding.

Anaemia While having treatment with mitomycin you may become anaemic. This may make you feel tired and breathless.

Loss of appetite A dietitian or specialist nurse at your hospital can give advice and tips on boosting appetite, coping with eating difficulties and maintaining weight.

Tiredness and a general feeling of weakness It is important to allow yourself plenty of time to rest.

You should not plan to have children while receiving chemotherapy or for a while after treatments.  Use a reliable method of birth control to prevent pregnancy. Mitomycin may harm the fetus.
