It belongs to the antitumor antibiotic class of chemotherapy agents and works by preventing cancer cells from growing and multiplying through DNA cross-linking, ultimately leading to cancer cell death. Mitomycin is administered by qualified healthcare professionals as an intravenous (IV) injection or, for certain bladder cancers, as intravesical therapy directly into the bladder. It may be used alone or in combination with other chemotherapy medicines depending on the patient's condition and treatment protocol.
