Farmarubicin is an anticancer drug used to treat superficial bladder tumors. It works by directly affecting cancer cells within the bladder, stopping their division and preventing their spread. This drug is usually given as an intravesical drip, where it remains in the bladder for a specific period of time to allow for local absorption and reduce its spread to the rest of the body. It is effective in preventing tumor recurrence after surgical removal, while reducing side effects compared to drugs given intravenously. Side effects may include bladder irritation or burning during urination. Your doctor's instructions must be followed carefully to ensure the best results.
Farmarubicin is an important option for treating localized bladder cancer.
