title: [Complications of intravesical mitomycin chemotherapy, apropos of 2 clinical case reports].
abstract: Administration of intravesical chemotherapy by mitomycin C (MMC) is an adjuvant treatment of the recurrent superficial bladder cancer. Since use of MMC in 1967, many different toxicities were reported. Those are local toxicities. Systemic toxicity is rare. At the hand of 2 cases reports and recent literature, we discuss the possible complications of intravesical therapy with MMC.
