Third-line chemotherapy with mitomycin C and lonidamine in advanced bladder cancer. Partial response in a patient with skin and lung metastases

Tumori. 1995 Jan-Feb;81(1):39-41. doi: 10.1177/030089169508100109.

Abstract

Skin metastases from transitional cell carcinoma are quite rare. The present case report describes the results of a combination of mitomycin C and lonidamine administered as third-line chemotherapy in a patient with pulmonary and skin involvement from bladder cancer. The partial response obtained suggests that further testing should be carried out on the activity of this association in a second-line approach.
