title: Phase II evaluation of mitomycin C (MMC) in children with refractory solid tumors using the single high-intermittent-dose schedule.
abstract: Nine evaluable patients with refractory solid tumors received mitomycin C as a single intravenous injection at a dose of 20 mg/m2 at 6- to 8-week intervals. Toxicity was tolerable. One patient with Wilms' tumor had a transient decrease in liver size. Pharmacokinetic data on three patients have suggested that the disposition of mitomycin C were comparable to those obtained in adults.
