Anyone had treatment with mitomycin (Zusduri)?

Posted by fighting50 @fighting50, Mar 4, 2025

Has anyone had treatment using Mitomycin? Is it similar to BCG? I have non-invasive low grade bladder cancer that hasn't responded to BCG or GemDose.

Thank you,

I completed my 6 week cycle of Zusduri. I had very few side effects except for slight pain when urinating week 5 and 6. I previously had 27 gemcitabine treatments and the Zusduri instillations were way easier than they were. I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing pain with treatment. Waiting for my cystoscopy on May 7th with fingers crossed that it did the job.

@cynthphelps I guess this just shows how different these treatments are far different folks. I had very little side effects with bcg and none with gemcitabine. Glad you had a good experience with Zusduri and wishing nothing but the best on your cystoscopy.
