Ralf-Dieter Hofheinz et al. Onkologie. 2008 May.

Abstract

Mitomycin C (MMC) is among the most effective anticancer drugs used for the treatment of a broad variety of tumours. This review summarises results of MMC-based chemotherapy in gastrointestinal tumours with special focus on current treatment options in gastric, pancreatic, biliary tract, colorectal, and anal cancer. In addition, these new developments are critically discussed with special attention to their potential clinical relevance.
