Farmarubicin is a cancer treatment used to treat superficial bladder tumors. It works by destroying cancer cells by affecting their genetic material, preventing them from dividing and growing. This medication is usually given as an intravesical drip into the bladder, allowing a high concentration of the active ingredient to be delivered to the tumor site without significantly affecting the rest of the body. It is often used after tumor removal to reduce the risk of recurrence. It has fewer side effects than some other medications, which may include burning during urination or bladder irritation. Therefore,
Farmarubicin is considered an effective topical treatment used to prevent the recurrence of bladder tumors after treatment.
