Intravenous Farmorubicine as monotherapy has shown an antitumour activity in breast carcinoma, gastric carcinoma and also in soft tissue sarcoma. In addition, objective responses have been observed in a smaller number of patients treated for a certain number of other tumours (pancreatic, ovarian, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma). Farmorubicine can be included in polychemotherapy regimens because it is less cardiotoxic than doxorubicin. Intravesical administration of epirubicin has produced positive results in superficial bladder tumours, both in therapeutic use and prophylactic use after transurethral resection. However, intravesical instillation is contra-indicated in the treatment of an invasive tumour that has penetrated the bladder wall.
