Mitomycin C

Mitomycin C is a chemotherapy drug used to treat certain types of cancers by stopping cancer cells from growing and dividing. It works by attaching itself to the DNA inside the cancer cells, preventing their genetic material from functioning properly, which leads to cell death. Besides cancer treatment, it is also used in some eye surgeries to prevent scar formation that can impair vision. Mitomycin C is potent and requires careful medical supervision due to its potential side effects, including effects on healthy tissues and blood cells.
